What's wrong with that ?

If you look at ascii porn setup.py file, it has an explicit test on the python version:

...
if sys.version_info[1] < 6: raise Exception("asciiporn requires Python 2.6 or higher")
...

So you have to easy_install it on Python 2.6, not Python2.5, or to ask asciiporn maintainer
to backport it to 2.5
