They can coexist peacefully. The last one you install will be the default version to handle .py files automatically.

You may want to create a batch file like this:

<begin python24.cmd>
@c:\python24\python.exe %*
<end python24.cmd>

(and a similar one for 2.5; put them somewhere on your PATH, like c:\windows\system32)
Usage: python24 somescript.py
