Generally speaking all the python 2.4 modules have names that begin  
"py" for example py-feedparser.
The python 2.5 modules all begin with "py25-" like py-25-zib.

port list py25* will list all the python 2.5 ones for you. If you see  
a "py" that has no "py25" version you might ask the develloper or make  
a trac ticket asking for one.  Or even get your feet wet, and try  
making a port yourself. I know the developers on this list would be  
glad to help you do that.... :)
