Can anyone give me a hint as to how to get TextMate to call the proper Python?

you should define the TM_PYTHON environment variable within textmate and point it to your python setup. I recommend to use the pythonw executable, otherwise some scripts cannot run.

TM_PYTHON=/sw/bin/pythonw

Actually, you should probably get the [universal python][1], instead of the one from Fink. It is most up-to-date, most optimized, and has the most testing of external packages, etc. (several of which are available from that same page). If you do get it, then AFAIK there is no reason to use pythonw, as it is a symlink to python.
