as far as I know TextMate does not read environment variables that you export via your bash profile. If you want to use environment variables inside TextMate, then you can for example set them via “TextMate→Preferences…→Variables”.

“Typeset & View (PDF)” always uses `/usr/bin/python` [1]. The reason for this is simple. `/usr/bin/python` is — by default — the location of the Python interpreter supplied by Apple. This means we can make some assumptions:

• The interpreter version is at least 2.7 (We do not support Python 2.6 [2])
• „PyObjC” and other standard libraries are installed 

[1]: https://github.com/textmate/latex.tmbundle/blob/master/Support/bin/texmate.py#L1
[2]: http://textmate.1073791.n5.nabble.com/Failure-running-Typeset-amp-View-PDF-td29100.html

You need to make sure that “PyObjC” is installed for whatever version of Python `/usr/bin/python` links to. Hope this helps.
