Warning: It is necessary to remove ALL applications that depends on Python2.4 BEFORE you remove python2.4-runtime. This is necessary to ensure that all python2.4 packages will be correctly removed.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Application manager (in Tools menu).
2. Open its Application catalogue (inside Tools, on the application's menu).
3. Add the following repositories: 
     Name: 	Maemo
     Web address: 	http://repository.maemo.org
     Distribution: 	bora
     Components: 	free non-free

     Name: 	Maemo Extras
     Web address: 	http://repository.maemo.org/extras
     Distribution: 	bora
     Components: 	free non-free
4. Refresh package list.
5. Install python2.5-runtime package, which will automatically pull all available Python bindings, but not the development packages.

Note that if you're using Maemo 2.x series you have to replace bora by the appropriate distribution name. Either scirocco (2.1) or gregale (2.2).
