I suspect that's because it is calling on 'python'  and as you said, you get 
2.4.

What you need to do is to:

sudo  rm /usr/bin/python     (remove the old symlink named python)

sudo  ln -s  /usr/bin/python2.5  /usr/bin/python      (make a new symlink)

This will point 'python'  to the 2.5 version.
