This macro always causes MoinMoin to stack trace, and I'm not sure why. This wasn't happening at Brian's, but he has a slightly newer MoinMoin. It's an ugly but harmless bug. -- SteveHowell
I switched PageSignature over to using our WikiMarkup parsing trick and it works fine on my local wiki. But when I run it on my dorseys.org wiki, it dies with this same stack trace. So I'm pretty sure it's related to our parsing wiki trick. -- BrianDorsey
More info: Looks like this is related to the version of Python. The error goes away when running Python 2.2. Not sure why. -- BrianDorsey
BTW, the "trick" wastes CPU time and will always carry the risk of introducing subtle bugs.
The traceback indicates you have "re.py" in site-packages, which is quite non-standard. -- jh
A similar error shows up here: http://www.dorseys.org/wiki/moin.cgi/PageSignature running python 2.1.1 without the re in site-packages. (random thought: perhaps the re is in site-packages because it didn't come with Python 1.5x?) The wiki-markup parsing "trick" we're doing doesn't feel right, but it's very useful. Is there a better way to have MoinMoin parse wiki from macros instead of needing to produce HTML or use the macro.formatter... methods? -- BrianDorsey
jh, is there a more kosher way to the formatting than our trick? -- SteveHowell
RecentBlogs code is disabled for now, due to stack trace problem. -- SteveHowell
