The distribution filename is 'moin-1.8.4', but the package name 
registered on Pypi is "MoinMoin".  This won't work.

You may be successful by running:

"easy_install http://static.moinmo.in/files/moin-1.8.4.tar.gz"

The problem is that the package is mis-registered on PyPI; its 
setup.py declares its name "moin", so that is its distribution 
filename.  However, on PyPI it is indexed as MoinMoin.  You may wish 
to inform the maintainers of this, so they can update either the 
setup.py to use MoinMoin as the name, or change the Pypi registration 
to use "moin".  Either should work, assuming that the distribution is 
able to work with setuptools.  (You'll have to try it and see.)
