.profile is used to configure your interactive shell, setting up
PYTHONPATH for some project should probably be done in the context of
that project (like the Makefile or setup.py).

Apart from that, you can define environment variables either just for
TextMate in its Preferences[1] or for the whole windowing system in
~/.MacOSX/environment.plist[2].
