Except I don't think python-updator will know what the old version of
python was so you might have to pass -o 2.3 or whatever.

What *I* would do, and the reason why I think you're having so the
trouble, is that you skipped 2.4.  I would go from 2.3 to 2.4, run
python-updater, then go from 2.4 to 2.5 and run python-updater again.
