Well, not that page specifically, but I've read a few different intall
guides, even one specifically for Ubuntu 9.10. Anyways, what that one
says is:

 +++++

Went through all the installation instructions again... I had missed the
step to set up an alias in Apache that points to the moin htdocs... Once
I added this, everything worked beautifully. (I think in this case,
"/srv/www/MoinMoin/" is what is referred to as my MoinMoin "prefix"?) 
 +++++

Which would be good, if I had an htdocs directory.

Python is whatever Ubuntu gives me, for 9.10, which is Python 2.6. And
yes, I recall reading something about 2.6 possibly being problematic, but
the standalone Moin webserver works fine, which seems to indicate that at
least basic functions of processing templates, etc., works OK.

I downloaded the tarball and followed the instructions, several times,
with a few variations to see if it'd set up an htdocs directory.

No, I didn't try the MoinMoin from the Ubuntu repositories. That's a
pretty old version.

I did, however, try DokuWiki instead, which was quick and painless. :)

But thanks for taking a stab at it.

Maybe if I can get to an installfest, there'll be a Python type there.
