tar can't write the unpacked files because the directory they belong to
doesn't exist. Most likely that's because tar can't create the
directory either.

Do you have write permission for the directory where you want to unpack
to? Can you create the directory Python-2.5 by hand ("mkdir Python-2.5")?
