@kovidgoyal: unfortunately Ubuntu edge misses a lot of packages for Python 2.5... for instance, when I tried to compile PyQt4 from source, as you suggested, it would complain about "ImportError: No module named sipconfig". Alas, there is also no precompiled package available for python-sip4 for Python 2.5 - only for 2.4.

Of course I could also compile this from source, but then, who knows, what other Python 2.5 modules might be missing. I'll try it this weekend. Or I will upgrade my Ubuntu machine to feisty which has all necessary Python 2.5 packages.
