You don't have to try - binaries for different Python versions *are* *not* compatible (up to the second digit: 2.4 and 2.5 are not compatible, but 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 are). So any extension using a .pyd/.dll will have to be recompiled, at least.
Even pure Python code written for 2.5 may use features not available in 2.2.

Packages built using setuptools (eggs) may contain explicit dependency information but I don't know for sure.
