/usr/bin/env just searches your PATH variable to find it, but it does
so in order. So, if you want it to find your python instead of a
system provided one, just alter your PATH variable and put
/home/my_username/python2.5 in front of everything else.
example in .profile:
PATH=/home/<username>/python2.5:$PATH
export PATH
