It starts with a line with a '#' and the name of the file. Next after that is:
from tkinter import *
Which works under python 3.2 but not in python 2.7 unless I make it Tkinter.
If I do
$python myscript.py
It uses 2.7.1.
If I do
$python2.7 myscript.py
It uses 2.7.3.
If I do
$python3.2 myscript.py
It uses 3.2.3.
If I run it from BBEdit it runs behaves the same as the first example. My
script, which is calling for Tk to draw a very basic window, doesn't work under
2.7.1 but does under 2.7.3 and 3.2.3. I can test this from the command line
perfectly. What I need is a way to control what BBEdit is using.

Nope, works under 2.7.3. And if your statement is true it still doesn't explain
how to force BBEdit to use 3.

That looks like bash script, will that work at the beginning of a python script?
Tried it and BBEdit gave me this error:
"env: python3: No such file or directory"

See above.

No, still getting the same errors (tried forcing 2.7.3 too, no dice).

I hope so ... :)
