Trying to downgrade from Python 2.5 to 2.4 won't work. python-updater will try to re-emerge everything with 2.5 instead of 2.4 when using:

python-updater -o 2.5 -n 2.4 

If you un-merge 2.5 and then run python-updater you get:
localhost ~ # python-updater -o 2.5 -n 2.4
 * Can't determine any previous Python version(s).

temporary workaround:

sed -i -e 's/^for old in 2.4/for old in 2.5 2.4/' /usr/sbin/python-updater
cd /usr/bin
rm python{,2}
ln -s python2.4 python
ln -s python2.4 python2
python-updater -o 2.5 -n 2.4
emerge -C =python-2.5*

Fixed in app-admin/python-updater.
