I need Python 2.5.5 binaries to run Google AppEngine SDK 1.4.1 on Windows, but can't find them on http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.5/
Why are they removed? -- anatoly t.

Nothing was removed. From that page: "This is a source-only release that only includes security fixes."

Oh. Thanks. The page should have a more prominent Download section with a direct link to a page with previous release binaries. Not many people know English to figure this out from the text even if they are able to follow AppEngine tutorials in Russian. -- anatoly t.

That's right next to the other sentence I mentioned: "The last full bug-fix release of Python 2.5 was Python 2.5.4http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.4/ ."
Not many

There hasn't been a problem with this in the past that I know of, so I suspect a lot of people actually do understand the page and English, but I imagine translations of the page might be accepted.

That's not consistent with the download section present on all other pages.

Of course you can't know about problems that users complain about in Russian, but ok, the page can be translated.
BTW, the page http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.5/ lists wrong latest release of Python 2.7 version.

Deliberately so - we don't really want people to download those binary releases while naively thinking they're getting all the security fixes from the source-only updates (see also the notice at the top of the 2.5.4 page).
