I use gramps 2.0, so I have not tried this myself:

The executable file for gramps is a script file and can be viewed in a
text-editor. This file starts the program with a line like 
"exec /usr/bin/python $GRAMPSDIR/gramps.py "$@""
That line starts the python interpreter /usr/bin/python with the file
gramps.py. My guess is that you also have python
interpreters /usr/bin/python2.4 and /usr/bin/python2.5.

If you can get the gramps-script to instead execute
using /usr/bin/python2.5, then that might help, but I do not know if all
the libraries will be found correctly. I'm afraid I can not help you
more.
