It is because mod_python uses the lang/python port as a dependency. This by default installs version 2.4. If you uninstall your current mod_python and python 2.4, then set PYTHON_VERSION=python2.5 in make.conf, if you install lang/python or mod_python, it'll then install and use lang/python2.5. Hope that helps, Richard
