After uninstalling Python2.5a2 (winXP) the registry key
/HKLM/Software/Python/PythonCore/2.5 is left in the
registry.

Wouldn't be the first Windows uninstaller to leave junk in the registry and won't be the last.  if this is going to be actioned versions need to be updated to Python 2.7, thinking realistically of 2.7.1, and Python 3.2+?
