If "flawfinder" is a Python script, check the first line of it
for text that looks something like this:

  #!/usr/bin/env python

or perhaps

  #!/usr/local/bin/python

You either need the python executable installed in the specified
directory or, for the /usr/bin/env version, you need it installed
in a folder that is in the PATH.  "echo $PATH" to see what you have
now.
