Most (if not all) situations where TextMate uses Python and Ruby, it should respect the values of environment variables called TM_PYTHON and TM_RUBY. If you have problems after installing a newer version, you could always set these variables to point to the stock versions in `/usr/bin`. Of course, that could potentially undermine the reason you installed them in the first place, but it will keep TextMate working. I believe Ruby is the riskier of the two to mess with, FYI.
