BBEdit (at least some older versions) seemed to assume python was 
installed at /usr/local/bin/python.  I think the current 7.0.1 version 
knows to look at /usr/bin/python on Mac OS X 10.2.x systems.  As a 
workaround, you could do the following in Terminal:
	sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/python
You may need to create /usr/local and /usr/local/bin directories first, 
if they don't exist.

That might also make Python filters work, too.  (They include a sample 
ROT13 filter in Python, and I've done a few of my own.  However, I also 
have the current CVS version of python installed at 
/usr/local/bin/python.)
