Debian Etch is meant to be stable, not up to date (except for security fixes), so it defaults to Python 2.4. You can install 2.5 but most of the python-* packages are not available for 2.5 because they were not deemed stable or didn't build at all. I needed support for Postgres, LDAP, Oracle and found it was easiest to stick with Python 2.4. If you really need 2.5, you're probably better off running a leading-edge distro like Ubuntu or Gentoo.
Good luck...
