3D CAD/CAM
FreeCAD is an Open Source CAx RAD based on Open Cascade, Qt and Python. It features some key concepts like Macro recording, Workbenches, ability to run as a server and dynamically loadable Application extensions and its designed to be platform independent... http://free-cad.sourceforge.net/
Fandango is planned to be a full featured CAD program. It has a C++ core extensible by scripts. Currently the memory core for entity management is ready, scripting works wonderfully thanks to the ease of embedding and extending of Python. A KDE+XML user interface is now in place, controlling the keyboard and mouse. http://www.soffernet.com/jaime/fandango/
PythonCAD is a CAD package written, surprisingly enough, in Python. The PythonCAD project aims to produce a scriptable, open-source, easy to use CAD package for Linux, the various flavors of BSD Unix, commercial Unix, and other platforms to which someone who is interested ports the program. Work began on PythonCAD in July, 2002, and the first public release was on December 21, 2002. In addition it has been ported to winXP http://www.pythoncad.org/
Blender is the free open source 3D content creation suite, available for all major operating systems under the GNU General Public License. It only uses Python as a scripting language, however.
Vintech RCAM is a CAD/CAM system for true shape nesting and NC programming of laser, plasma, oxy-fuel and water-jet cutting machines. Vintech RCAM is platform independent and now it runs under Windows XP, Windows 7 and Linux. The main programing language of the system is Python, which defines the advanced methodology and the dynamic system development. More information http://www.vintech.bg.
Audio/Video Applications
cplay - Curses-based Linux multimedia jukebox http://www.tf.hut.fi/~flu/cplay/
Freeseer - Conference recording software and screencast tool http://github.com/Freeseer/freeseer
Freevo - Linux multimedia jukebox http://www.freevo.org
TimPlayer - Py-GTK based music player using Gstreamer http://creationix.com/OpenSource/TimPlayer/

Console Applications
IPython - An enhanced Interactive Python shell
SQLPython - interactive Oracle database client (alternative to Oracle's SQL*Plus)
See also PythonShells.
Enterprise Applications
Odoo - A complete open source ERP & CRM; accounting, stock management, sales, and modular framework with over 750 modules. Originally called tinyErp, then OpenERP; there is also a variant for Medical.
Tryton - a fork of Tiny ERP providing a three-tier high-level general purpose application platform
Picalo - A data analysis toolkit for DBMS-type of data. Includes embedded Python scripting and wxWidgets GUI.
LinOTP 2 - a flexible and modular solution for strong two-factor authentication with one time passwords (OTP). Due to the modular architecture several OTP tokens and different OTP algorithms are supported.
RESTx - a RESTful, GPL licensed open-source data publishing and integration platform, which emphasizes simplicity, sane defaults and out-of-the-box usability. No complex configuration, no steep learning curve, instead up and running in 5 minutes. Components for data access or integration logic can be easily written in Python and Java, users create their own RESTful resources by posting parameters for those components or just filling out a small form in their browser.
File Formats
xtopdf - a Python toolkit for PDF generation from other data formats; many supported input formats, including: text, DBF/XBASE, CSV, TSV/TDV, XML, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, ODBC, SQLAlchemy, MongoDB, Microsoft Access, SQLite, Berkeley DB, standard input. Support for more formats can be added. PDFBuilder app (using xtopdf) can build composite PDFs from any combination of the supported input formats. xtopdf can be used as a library in your Python programs. Includes stand-alone end-user tools for: command-line (Linux, Windows) / desktop GUI (wxPython - Linux, Windows), web GUI (Flask, Bottle, CherryPy, WSGI, Netius). xtopdf is available on Linux, MacOS, Windows (except for platform-specific features like ODBC).
Image Applications
Gnofract 4D - A flexible fractal generation program
Gogh - A PyGTK-based painting program (or image editor) with support for pressure-sensitive tablets/devices. This application appears to no longer exists.
imgSeek - Photo collection manager with content-based search. You simply sketch the image you want to find.
MayaVi - Scientific visualization program based on VTK
VPython - Navigable 3D animations are produced as side effects of computations, making a normally difficult task exceptionally easy. The new 5.0 release candidate offers opacity, local lights, and materials such as wood.
Internet Applications
BAOW - A lightweight content manage system based on Python language and SQL database, help you to develop complex web applications. http://www.baow.org (Web site seems to be gone)
BitTorrent - a scalable centralized
