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.)
