I found the problem. I was running MoinMoin as a Windows service,
using srvany.exe as the service process. My service configuration was
using moin.bat to run the standalone server, but this doesn't appear
to work - stopping the service left a python.exe process running. So I
was seeing my old code, because that was what was still running!

I fixed this by running python.exe -c "..."... duirectly (taking the
appropriate line from moin.bat.

Moral: don't use .bat files with srvany.exe.

Paul.
