>>> import scipy.stats as st
>>> st.norm.ppf(.95)
1.6448536269514722
>>> st.norm.cdf(1.64)
0.94949741652589625
As other users noted, Python calculates left/lower-tail probabilities by default. If you want to determine the density points where 95% of the distribution is included, you have to take another approach:
>>>st.norm.ppf(.975)
1.959963984540054
>>>st.norm.ppf(.025)
-1.960063984540054
