python was just updated to 2.5, but everything else in the distro (and
in Ports) is still compiled for python-2.4.  Besides the different
install paths (/usr/lib/python2.{4,5}), any binary extensions will not
work at all, as the libpython libraries have different sonames.

Would the python maintainer consider creating parallel-installable
python2.x packages, amd use alternatives for the /usr/bin commands?
This would help ease the transition, as well as account for those
packages that work with some but not all versions of python.
