I don't know MoinMoin,
but the answer is Yes (although maybe not for your ten snippets).
First of all I think all programmers keep there own collection of code snippets,
which much more valuable then "all the code code snippets from everyone".
Secondly, Python is nowadays not only used by programmers,
but also by e.g. Scientific users (former MatLab users),
who are not interested in the code itself,
but just in the results of that particular code.
For these people a lot of example programs,
for which they can easily see the results,
make some small changes and see the result again,
would be a wonderful addition.

just my 2 cents,
cheers,
