Description

After applying the workaround for bug MoinMoinBugs/BinMoinHasNoExecutePermission1.5.3, I run bin/moin:

# ./moin
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./moin", line 2, in ?
    from MoinMoin.script.moin import run
ImportError: No module named MoinMoin.script.moin

The script is very basic:

from MoinMoin.script.moin import run
run()

... so it is obvious that it will not work. Why does it assume that MoinMoin.script.moin is installed in python's library?

Reported by Hans Deragon (hans@deragon.biz).

Workaround

None.

Discussion

The script works for a MoinMoin installed to system standard location (because it is in sys.path then). It doesn't work for a non-standard installation location.

I added some comment to moin command (for POSIX platform) about how to fix it if it doesn't find the MoinMoin module. After some searching in distutils documentation and source code, I didn't find an easy way to get the install location of the MoinMoin package for the build_scripts stuff. If somebody wants to invest more time on that than me, feel free to submit a patch or other useful info.

Plan

• Priority:
• Assigned to:
• Status: moin script now contains some comments about fixing sys.path - can't be done automatically
