Yes - this is because Modeller contains Python 2.3, while RHEL 3 still has Python 2.2.

Well, that will probably work, but you're mixing Python modules between versions 2.2 and 2.3. Binary (.so) modules will almost certainly not work, and even pure Python modules might act strangely. So I wouldn't recommend that.
Other solutions are to upgrade to RHEL 4 (which ships with Python 2.3) or to install Python 2.3 from python.org.
