The mme2 routines know how to calculate the Hessian for the original GB
model (igb=1). They has never been extended to the "OBC" or "Neck" variants
of GB. That would be an interesting, but complex, application of the chain
rule for derivatives: not hard in principle, but probably a pretty fair amount
of work. (Volunteers are welcome, but should recognize that the demand for
normal mode analyses for biomolecules is pretty limited. Most people
interested in this sort of analysis use quasi-harmonic analysis instead,
which doesn't require second derivatives.)

Python would be a stretch. The "sff" routines are written in C, and the
current documented API is for NAB (a C-like language). In the next release of
AmberTools, we will also include and document the C API.
