That's just the GUI utilities that come with the third-party Python
2.5 distribution from python.org; the Python framework itself, which
includes its command line tools, is installed under /Library/Frameworks.
There's also a copy of Python 2.5 included in Leopard as standard, so
you actually have two Python 2.5 installations on your machine.

Yep, this is where Apple's Python keeps third-party modules (the
framework itself is under /System so it doesn't get fiddled with).
Setuptools and easy_install are included with Leopard's Python, but
aren't included in the third-party distributions so must be installed
separately for those. You have two options:
1. Uninstall your own Python 2.5 installation and use Apple's
(slightly older) version.
2. Install setuptools for your third-party Python:

It's the module packaging format used by setuptools.
