Hmmm... there are two things I can think of. First, make sure you have extras enabled. I'm not sure if you're trying to update from extras or extras-devel (could you post the version number it wants to update to?) If it's extras-devel, disable extras-devel and ignore the update. It won't be there anymore 
If it's extras, there seems to be a problem with the package. python isn't actually a package, but that doesn't explain it complaining about python-dbus and python-hildon, both of which ARE packages.
Otherwise, you probably don't have extras enabled. Try adding:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras
free non-free
(leave blank)
To your applicaiton manager and see if it installs then. If you don't have extras, you probably have extras-devel, which you should disable (it could really screw things up)

What I don't understand is how I can be running it with out these?
I also can't find these things to install them to do the update!
A little help would really be appreciated!
sudo dpkg -i xxxxxx.deb
If this results in an error you can also try
sudo apt-get -f install
to force the libraries being installed.
Note: if you are ssh'ing (command line) as root you can omit the sudo of course.

Bug in the packaging.
If, by any chance, konttori, you see this:
Change "Depends: python, python-dbus, python-hildon" to "Depends: python2.5 | python (>=2.5), python2.5-dbus | python-dbus, python2.5-hildon | python-hildon"
If, by any chance, konttori, you see this:
Change "Depends: python, python-dbus, python-hildon" to "Depends: python2.5 | python (>=2.5), python2.5-dbus | python-dbus, python2.5-hildon | python-hildon"

Following a poke by krisse, I asked konttori to upload it to extras-devel for diablo; but there are two bugs I'm aware of which I've emailed him about:
I'll make him aware of this thread.
- Section: user/multimedia (should be user/system)
- Dependency problems, as above.
I'll make him aware of this thread.

This is a issue i keep seeing with python based projects ever so often. Often enough that i'm wondering what may be the cause...
