Sure, write your wrapper-style extensions in ctypes :) .  For example, 
pygame-ctypes[1] should work on Python 2.5.  Of course, you need to get 
the PyGame dependencies (SDL) installed via some external mechanism, but 
the ctypes-based code should run in Python 2.5 today (with the caveat 
that it's not finished software).

Have fun,
