Python folding seems half implemented, it does not work. As you can see in this shot:

There's no mark for classes for instance, and more important if you click on the marks to fold functions nothing happens.

This is a known problem.
As stated before, TextMate currently tries to do folding based on indentation of the end marker. Since there is no end marker in Python, it doesn't work properly.
The workaround to make it work currently is by using empty lines with the proper indentation. It's not pretty, but it works.
Allan is working hard on all kinds of features that will make TextMate the Über-editor of all, but folding isn't currently on the top of the list...

Yeah, I didn't have received the reply for HTML folding before I sent this one about Python.

I think TextMate is really promising, it already has features I like very much, innovative and useful. That's why I bought a license, and encourage the company to work hard on it because there's no comparable editor in that niche that I know of.
Nevertheless, I sincerely think the description of folding in the home page is, well, could be misleading if you've already worked with folding in other editors. If nothing is specified code folding is expected to be language-aware and do the right thing.
In order to not disappoint future customers in that particular corner of the application I would insert some "indentation" somewhere until this feature is improved, "indentation-based folding" or something in that line.
