AAAAARGGGG!!!

I found the error by running:

	python /etc/moin/ourwiki.py

it was that vim used TAB for indentation and not spaces as the config
file uses so python crashed on the file.

OK now I have written a function for vim that automatically sets tab to
spaces or tabs depending on what is already used in a python file to
avoid this in the future... 2 hours of hairpulling down the drain...

Next is to figure out how to get a better theme installed but firstly:

Good night!
