Well you also just can call a script by entering its path e.g.

cd moin-1.9.3
MoinMoin/script/moin.py ... migration data

What is data.py for? I don't know it - it is not in our package of moin.

this must be a list, change it to  superuser = [u"Jurriaan", ]

see pre section "Becoming superuser" of LanguageSetup

you need it. Because a lot of users had complained that we have
installed in the past always all language packs we decided to give the
decision to the user.
We deliver only one page now. By this page you can install all other
pages. http://moinmo.in/FranklinPiat/UnderstandingLanguagePacks gives a
hint what is in each package listed.
