FWIW, Ubuntu dropped 2.5 quite a while ago. The next LTS (long term support) release in April 2012 will have only Python 2.7 (and 3.2). The currently in-development next Debian release currently has only Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.2 with 2.7 as the default. For my own code, Python 2.6 is the minimum, and I'm seeing more upstream libraries target 2.6 as a minimum also (e.g. dbus-python). When projects say they still need to target older Pythons, RHEL support is usually cited as the reason.
