4 Please use Python 2.6.x, 2.5.x, 2.7.x, 2.4.x (in that order, first most
5 recommended, last least recommended).
6 2.4 is last because it is very OLD and not much tested any more.
7 2.7 is 2nd last because it is very NEW and not much tested with moin yet.
9 Python 2.3 is not supported by moin 1.9.x (use moin 1.8.x if you can't
10 upgrade Python now [but please begin planning your Python upgrade, 1.8.8 or
11 1.8.9 will be the last moin 1.8.x release]).
13 Python 3.x won't work for MoinMoin for now.
16 * zlib support (required)
17 * ucs4 (32bit unicode, recommended)
18 * ucs2 also works for most users (not recommended)
23 You can use anything that speaks WSGI to moin:
24 * the "standalone" wikiserver.py we bundle with moin (recommended for
25 desktop wikis, testing, debugging, development, adhoc-wikis)
26 * apache with mod_wsgi (recommended for bigger/busier wikis), do not use
27 mod_wsgi v2.3 (it has known problems), about any other version is fine.
28 * other WSGI-compatible servers
29 * cgi, fastcgi, scgi, ajp, ... also work via the "flup" middleware bundled with moin
30 * For IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003, you can use a ISAPI-WSGI gateway:
31 http://code.google.com/p/isapi-wsgi/ v0.4.1 has been used successfully.

71 Bundled 3rd party code
72 ======================
74 Below are some notes about the software we bundle and ship with MoinMoin.
75 If you are a Linux distributor and you want to rip out this stuff and
76 replace it with packages, this is for you!
78 We list the shipped version and also the minimum required version.
79 The shipped version will work best with moin as usually has some more bug
80 fixes than the minimum required version.
81 We do not test with the minimum required version, but we try to keep this
82 file updated and correct to our best knowledge.
84 In case you find bugs in this requirements specification, please let us know!
86 Thanks to all 3rd party software authors!
