A nice coworker, when I mentioned my much-beloved and rather hackishly abused wiki, put me onto MoinMoin. Faster and better than UseMod, he says. Written in Python.

Which would generally stop me in my tracks (that's why I chose UM - single Perl script), but he says Python's easy to learn...

I assume my impressive and competent webhosts won't blink if I ask them about mod_python.

Comparing MoinMoin to UseMod on other counts does sound positive. For example, MM supports the inclusion of 'boilerplate' text (which is what I painstakingly hacked UseMod to do) and footnotes. Even the markup is largely the same.

Migration'd be a pain, though. A script or something would be very nice.

(And, of course, those of you who've friended my LJ know I don't need another project just at the moment...)
