There is no need to perform any kind of energy minimization on the 
structure, because that's already been done - that's what Modeller does 
when it builds a homology model (constructs a scoring function from the 
available data, then minimizes it). But if you really want to minimize 
using some other scoring function (set of restraints) then you could 
write a script similar to that at
http://salilab.org/modeller/9v7/manual/node247.html
Of course, you will have to decide what set of restraints to use.

I don't know what script you are referring to here, but to fix that 
Python error you can replace
    mdl.generate_topology(aln, sequence=code+'-ini')
with
    mdl.generate_topology(aln[code+'-ini'])
