there ishttp://pypi.python.org/pypi/MoinMoin/1.8.4, and

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_installhttp://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 asMoinMoin.  You may wish to inform the maintainers of this, so they can update either the setup.py to useMoinMoinas 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.)

Hi David, which project you are referring to ? I suppose you mean setuptools ?

Lennart Regebro worked on this, and Ronald Orrousen lately. You might want to check with them

Hi All,

Is anybody working on python 3 porting?

I'm volunteering to help out with the porting effort if there's nobody else..

I have access to most of the platforms ie windows, linux but I'll need to go buy a new mac and since it is tax time... I'm thinking of letting it be on the tax man... haha

If everybody helps out a little, we should get it done by december right?

Anybody know what the issues are?

David
