What's the first line of your script?

If python 2.7.1 rejects the code, then I assume that the code is written for 
python 3 (which is a sensible version to learn these days).

You can try to set the first line to:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

If that doesn't work, try to be more specific (open a terminal, and see which 
versions of python are available, typing python and pressing the tab-key should 
provide some options).

As a last resort, you could use the full path to python:

#!/usr/local/bin/python3

I'm sure others will provide the correct method for getting BBEdit to recognize 
your scripts and finding the appropriate interpreter.
