Well, I am running mostly testing with kde from unstable because of the 
constant breakage of kde in testing and I get no conflicts for python and 
I've allways used apt to keep up-to-date. Here is the output of:
 
dpkg -l|grep python
ii  dcoppython     2.2.2-3        Python bindings for DCOP
ii  python         2.1.1-4        An interactive object-oriented scripting lan
ii  python-gdk-iml 0.6.8-14       GTK gdk_imlib support module for Python.

ii  python-numeric 20.2.0-3       Numerical (matrix-oriented) Mathematics for
ii  python1.5-base 1.5.2-18.4     An interactive object-oriented scripting lan
ii  python2-base   2.0.1-1        An interactive object-oriented scripting lan
ii  python2.1      2.1.1-4        An interactive object-oriented scripting lan

so it look like I've got both python1.5-base and python2-base installed 
without conflict. Here also is the output of:

dpkg -l|grep Office
ii  kchart         1.1.1-2        a chart drawing program for the KDE Office S
ii  kformula       1.1.1-2        a formula editor for the KDE Office Suite
rc  killustrator   1.1-beta2-3    a vector graphics tool for the KDE Office Su
ii  kivio          1.1.1-2        a flowcharting program for the KDE Office Su
ii  koffice        1.1.1-2        KDE Office Suite

ii  kontour        1.1.1-2        a vector graphics tool for the KDE Office Su
ii  koshell        1.1.1-2        the KDE Office Suite workspace
ii  kpresenter     1.1.1-2        a presentation program for the KDE Office Su
rc  krayon         1.1-beta2-3    an image editor for the KDE Office Suite
ii  kspread        1.1.1-2        a spreadsheet for the KDE Office Suite
ii  kugar          1.1.1-2        a business report maker for the KDE Office S
ii  kword          1.1.1-2        a word processor for the KDE Office Suite

showing all the parts of koffice on my system. One suggestion, try apt-get 
instead of dselect. I find apt to be far more intellegent in sorting out 
dependancies and installing things in the correct order than dselect. The 
only advantage I've seen with dselect is it will inform you of suggests and 
recommends whereas apt-get just seems to ignore these.

I hope this gives you a bit more information for figuring out where your 
problems are coming from.

Cheers,
