If you want to use python2.5, install a python2.5 from python.org:
   http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.4/
That python (/usr/local/bin/python2.5) will work on both Tiger and 
Leopard.  Reinstall your dependent packages (setuptools, py2app, wx, 
reportlab, yaml) with that python.   By default, commands for those 
packages will be installed to 
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin, which may or may 
not be first on your shell $PATH.  When running py2app from there, it 
should include python in the app bundle (it will not do this when using 
the built-in Apple python) so the app should run on any 10.4 or 10.5 
system.
