Strange.  Can you:

  1) post the contents that the "./moin" script that you are running
  2) explain where that script came from?

I have searched the 1.7.x source and my local 1.7.2 installation, and I
don't see a script called "moin" that contains the code in the above
stack trace.  As near as I can tell, the "real" moin script is a trivial
two-liner that just passes control to MoinMoin.script.moin.
