What does py25 mean?

What does py25 mean?

I can't seem to upgrade about 40 ports (the old versions of which now seem
to be broken) evidently because the build of

py25-gtk-2.13.1 fails with the message

     py25-cairo-1.8.6 needs Python 2.6 at least. But you specified 2.5.

Well, of *I* did not specify 2.5.

But howcome something called py25-cairo needs Python 2.6?  What does that
py25 on the front mean?   Doesn't it mean python 2.5?  If it doesn't mean
that, what does it mean?  If it does mean that, then howcome it needs python
2.6?
