We describe models of nonthermal photon emission from a homogeneous distribution of relativistic electrons and protons. Contributions from the synchrotron, inverse Compton, nonthermal bremsstrahlung, and neutral-pion decay processes are computed separately using a common parameterization of the underlying distribution of nonthermal particles. The models are intended for use in fitting spectra from multiwavelength observations and are designed to be accurate and efficient. Although our applications have focused on Galactic supernova remnants, the software is modular, making it straightforward to customize for different applications. In particular, the shapes of the particle distribution functions and the shape of the seed photon spectrum used by the inverse Compton model are defined in separate modules and may be customized for specific applications. We assess the accuracy of these models by using a recurrence relation and by comparing them with analytic results and with previous numerical work by other authors.
