That is not correct. If you run Modeller with the mod9.15 script, that 
uses a built-in copy of Python 2.3, so it would only work if you also 
had the Python 2.3 modules available. But we generally don't recommend 
that these days (Python 2.3 is really really old). Run your scripts with 
the system "python" instead like any other Python script. If you 
installed the RPM (it looks from your traceback as if you have) then you 
are already good to go. If you installed the .tar.gz, then it will have 
told you how to set PYTHONHOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to make this work.

Every version of Python has the socket module, including Python 2.7.
