Why did you ask for Debian lenny if you needed packages newer than
the ones provided by lenny?
I need later versions of python and Django. Those on
the server are 2.5.2 and 1.0.2 respectively, and I need 2.6.6 and
1.2.3. I used the apt-get and aptitude tools but these confirm
that the latest version is what I have already installed. Are
these the latest versions available with Debian Lenny?

I can't see what parameter I could use with
apt-get in order to
look elsewhere for the later versions. If not, is it OK to edit
the entries in /etc/apt/sources.list to point to a non-cached
repository?
If you have to ask this question then the answer is no.
You would probably be best off upgrading to squeeze, which you can
do yourself:
