Install Python2.5 on Ubuntu 10.04

Canonical have removed the Python2.5 package from the latest Ubuntu Lucid release, so I cannot run the local Google App Engine web server. The only think you should do is add the following two lines at the end of your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fkrull/deadsnakes/ubuntu lucid main 
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/fkrull/deadsnakes/ubuntu lucid main

And finally run:

$ sudo apt-get update 
$ sudo apt-get install python2.5 

And that’s it, you can now run GoogleAppEngine.
