[Trac] Installing Trac on OS X 10.4 and SQLite

I hope this hasn't been covered somewhere horribly obvious - if it
has, my apologies in advance: I recently upgraded to Tiger, and have
been going through the interminable process that is making a fresh OS
install usable :) - but I have run into a bit of a snag with Trac.
On my previous system, I had been running Apache2/Subversion/Trac as
installed by fink, mostly due to laziness at the time. However, as
nice as fink generally is, I decided this time around to ditch fink
and build everything manually in order to have a bit more control
over how things happen - many thanks to Mario Ruggier for his
"TracOnOSxNoFink" wiki entry: OS X 10.4 has been different enough
that it's helped avoid errors due to differences between it and
10.3.x. The build/install process has gone swimmingly until I tried
to set up my Trac environment again, and I received the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/trac-admin", line 30, in ?
import sqlite
ImportError: No module named sqlite
Although Mario's wiki entry indicates to install SQLite, I wasn't
sure if that would be necessary for OS X 10.4, as it ships with
SQLite pre-installed so I skipped that part - apparently to my
detriment. :) I poked around a bit and verified that yes, SQLite
exists on my system, but it seems that 10.4's Python install is
unaware of that fact (can you tell I'm not a Python hacker? ;). Is
this correct, and if so, how do I correct it? Suggestions, hints or
polite whacks with the Clue Stick would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Bryan
