You have a few options.

First, http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Source_vimrc_and_use_tags_in_a_parent_directory has a list of scripts that do per-directory .vimrc handling.

Second, you could set up your .vimrc according to your desired project settings, and override the project settings with a modeline for any python files you create outside the project.

Finally, you could set up a BufRead,BufNewFile autocmd matching files in the D:\Projects\MyProject directory which sets the project-specific settings, to override another autocmd (before it) matching all files which sets up your desired settings for other files. For example (untested):

augroup PYTHON_PROJECT_SETTINGS
au!
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile * setl ts=4 sts=4 sw=4 expandtab
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile D:\Projects\MyProject\* setl ts=3 sts=3 sw=3
augroup END
