You need a Python that is built for 32 bit.
It usually works with the pre-installed Python, but that's
also most probably only a 2.5.

The easiest way is to build from Python's binary distribution,
passing in the option to use 32 bit.
This is what I use on Snow-Leopard:

CC='cc -m32' ./configure MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6
