The problem seems to be that BBEdit does *NOT* look at $PATH, at least as set in my .tchsrc, which indeed gives me the /usr/local/ bin/python executable from the shell. Instead, it appears to look in environment.plist for a PATH variable (even when invoked with the bbedit command-line utility).
This is why I explicitly pointed that out, and referred you to the QA page at <http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1067.html>.
BBEdit is not a child of any shell, so it doesn't inherit the shell's environment.
BBEdit actually doesn't look in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. It just uses the POSIX APIs to look at the environment. It doesn't care where the inherited environment comes from - it could have come from a can of chicken soup for all it cares :-).
