[GIS] Unable to load GRASS plugin

grassqgisqgis-plugins

I upgraded from QGIS 1.7.0 to 1.8.0, including updating GRASS to version 6.4.3. Since then, GRASS isn't any longer listed in the Fetch Python plugins. I uninstalled and re-installed the whole package without any results.
Any tips how to reactivate GRASS in my system (OSX 10.6.8)?
Thanks

EDIT: Apparently Sextante has to be activated to be able to load the GRASS plugin. However, the "importlib" Python module is lacking to activate Sextante. Any suggestions on how to install this module?

The final solution was going back to GRASS 6.4.2. This restores the GRASS plugin. Sextante was only a partial solution, as not all the GRASS modules are integrated in Sextante and Sextante also cannot open GRASS layers into QGIS. Unfortunately GRASS 6.4.2. for Mac isn't available on Kyngchaos.com, but I could retrieve it on a backup.
