This patch has been applied in SVN, but I guess there hasn't been an
cutting-edge textmate release in a while.  If you have an svn checkout
of the bundles, update it.  If not, you can either get one or — and
this is what i recommend — modify the sitecustomize.py that is in
TextMate.app's copy of the Python.tmbundle.  That will eventually
get overwritten when TextMate is updated.
