If you are interested in economic modelling have a look at Minsky.[1][2] It isn't that pretty and it is in (C++ and Tcl/Tk) rather than Python but Steve Keen's Minsky project looks like an interesting take on macroeconomic modelling (rather than microeconomic simulation). It was Kickstarter funded (at least partially).
Steve Keen was predicting a big debt triggered crash before 2008 and believes in economic models that at least have the possibility of crisis and disequilibrium being the normal state (which is regarded as unorthodox in economics).
Minsky can model chaotic system (even outside of economics)[3].
