See #2 at http://salilab.org/modeller/release.html#issues
I'm guessing that you're trying to run this Python script using the 'mod9v4' script. Don't do that - use regular 'python' instead - i.e. rather than 'mod9v4 flex-em.py' use 'python flex-em.py'. This should work if you installed Modeller using the RPM (should also work on the Mac or Windows). For other systems, the Modeller installer should have installed a script called modpy.sh in the same directory as mod9v4. Add that to your python command above, e.g. '/my/modeller/directory/bin/modpy.sh python flex-em.py'

I strongly recommend that you don't set PYTHONHOME. It may confuse other applications, and is not an appropriate fix for this problem.
