I'd be happy to help you fixing the compatibility with python 2.5 (and,why not, 2.6).I would be extremely grateful if you open some bug tasks for specific issues, so that I can fix them in an easy way.
There were several sessions at UDS where we discussed Karmic Python support in general and which version of Python to target for Launchpad in particular. The decision was made to target Python 2.6. IIRC, Karmic will not include Python 2.5 but only 2.6 and there are now back ported packages of 2.6 for Hardy (the last LTS release).
The take away is that we want Launchpad to run on Python 2.6, and Gary and his team have been doing a lot of work to get us there. If we need to get Launchpad running on 2.5 as a stepping stone, so be it, but we should eventually end up on Python 2.6.
I had several branches where I worked on this back before we open sourced. I think for other reasons those branches are obsolete so I abandoned them. Things will get easier still when Launchpad is fully buildout-based.
