That's because we only support the system version of Python on Macs, 
/usr/bin/python.

Note that you missed a step: the Modeller Python interface consists of 
two parts, a pure Python part ("import modeller") and the underlying 
interface itself ("import _modeller") which the pure Python part pulls 
in automatically. On a Mac you'll find that second part in a file called 
/Library/modeller-9.14/lib/mac10v4
/_modeller.so, which you'll also need to symlink.

If you're lucky then Anaconda Python doesn't change the ABI from the 
system version and this should work. If it doesn't, you can rebuild the 
interface for any version of Python using the files in the src/swig/ 
subdirectory.
