Python 2.5 (unlike 2.4 and earlier versions) is expected to release memory back to the OS when objects are de-referenced. Considering that I would suspect that you are still holding references to python objects.
Do you have an objects of user defined classed which define the __del__() method? If yes, this would lead to an issue with for GC when collecting for circularly referenced objects. The gc module has some methods to help is figuring out what objects are still referenced. That would be a good starting point to track down memory issues.
