What tools are good to use for code analysis in python?

I have a large source repository split across multiple projects, and I would like to be able to run tools across the directories to see details like Cyclomatic Complexity, and perhaps be able to spot errors using static analysis.

Ideally, I would like to be able to produce a report about the health of the source code, so we can spot problem areas that need to be addressed.
