You have come across an incomatibility with python 2.5.0 and the 2.5.1 version that ships with Leopard. The upcoming Qube 5.3 will have direct support of the python 2.5.1 that ships with Leopard.

As an interim solution, you can download and use the python 2.5.0 from Active State under older versions (http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePython/macosx/2.5/).  Newer versions may work as well but have not been tested.
