It's worth noting that you CAN localize newer installations of Python say, /usr/local/python2.7 and leave your regular distro's Python alone.  When you want to run Chirp, you'll just need to start it via your desired python like:

   /usr/local/python2.7/python /path/to/chirp/chirp.py

I had to do this on Centos5 and it worked well.

Yeah, 2.5 is really old at this point and lacks some of the now-basic
features of python that Chirp requires. Note that this likely means a
distro upgrade. Installing python from source or other packages is
likely to turn into a large string of dependency-chasing exercises that
you probably don't want to start.
