You don't need PYTHONPATH set when you have installed freevo normally, just when it has been installed in a test directory. You can't mix python version, if you have upgraded to Python-2.5 then you also need to install the dependencies again. Copying the python files over may work but is a bit risky as the egg files aren't built. Sometimes python uses shared objects (.so) files and these more than likely will not work for different major versions of python. In other words you cannot have kaa in python 2.4 site-packages and freevo in python 2.5 site-packages.
