Python 2.7 is not supported "out of the box": see
http://salilab.org/modeller/release.html#rpm
where we state the versions of Python that are supported (2.3 through 
2.6). Since Python 2.7 was released after Modeller 9v8, we could not 
include Python 2.7 support.

The good news, however, is that the binary interface did not change 
between Python 2.5 and Python 2.7, so you can simply make a couple of 
links to add 2.7 support to Modeller. Try the following command (should 
be run all on one line):

cd /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ && sudo ln -sf 
../../python2.5/site-packages/_modeller.so _modeller.so && sudo ln -sf 
/usr/lib/modeller9v8/modlib/modeller modeller

(If you don't have sudo set up on your system simply remove the two 
'sudo's from this command and run the whole thing as the root user.)

This is assuming you installed the Modeller RPM package on a 64-bit 
Fedora machine. If you have a 32-bit machine, replace 'lib64' with 'lib'.
