Why do you think you'll need to compile anything?

I can't speak for the the people who run python.org, but considering you 
can still get 1.5.2 in binary form for windows, I don't see why they'd 
ever stop offering Python 2.5.

Just because new development for the 2.x series is coming to a halt, 
doesn't mean anyone's forcing everyone to start using 2.6, 2.7, or 3.x, 
or that suddenly Python.org is going to stop offering downloads for it. 
There's just no reason for them to bother as long as there's any sort of 
interest. I mean, ten years from now maybe if no one ever downloads 2.5 
-- but as it is, its 11 years since 1.5.2 was released and no one seems 
inclined to remove it. :)
