What's wrong with that ?

If you look at ascii porn setup.py file, it has an explicit test on the
python version:

...
if sys.version_info[1] < 6: raise Exception("asciiporn requires Python 2.6
or higher")
...

So you have to easy_install it on Python 2.6, not Python2.5, or to ask
asciiporn maintainer
to backport it to 2.5
