Apparently, you got your Python 2.5 from MacPorts (as it's in
/opt/local). As far as I know, such installers as provided by
Christopher only work with the Python version you can download on
python.org (or the system Python probably) whereas if you want extension
modules for your MacPorts Python you also have to use MacPorts to
install them.
