I will probably use:

for programming

Python of course
Pygame
tiledtmxloader, https://code.google.com/p/pytmxloader/
my base, https://github.com/Knowlege/Base
maybe gjapi for non-official version, https://github.com/vncastanheira/gjapi_python

for drawing:

Windows XP Paint
Office PowerPoint
and maybe Gimp

Other:

Ninja as IDE
Tiled for level editing
Sfxr for sound generating
Fake music generator, http://www.fakemusicgenerator.com/
cx_freeze for compiling
Windows Notepad for ideas
cmd for some things

And My brain for many things

If anything from list isn't allowed in PyWeek just say and I won't use it

That is awesome, and I've added it to the resources post, thanks @knowledge!

I'm planning to use

pypy 2.4
My own pysdl2-cffi : all of sdl, ttf, image, mixer. It's becoming increasingly awesome with each revision.
gillcup - the only non-graphics-library-specific Python animation library I could find; are there others?
PyTMX
opengameart.org for sprites, depending on the theme
british library flickr for public domain images from books, depending on the theme
LiClipse / PyDev IDE
pixelmator (photoshop substitute)
audacity audio editor
threading
gvim
coffee

At least in SDL2, it's possible to run the render loop and the event loop in separate threads. AFAICT the renderer must be created in the same thread as it is used and the event loop must run in the same thread that created the window. If you do this then you must take the usual multithreading precautions when passing data between your event thread to your render thread. The technique is most useful for games with extremely tight input requirements such as rhythm games.

This "brain" you speak of sounds very useful. Is it open source? Fakemusicgenerator looks amazing - I'm definitely using that :D Other than that, planning to use pygame, pyxeledit, and sfxr to make something as simple as possible.

from knowledge import brain You'd think it would be the other way around
