I am sorry about that bug, I used a feature of python 2.4 there, but
moin should be compatible to python 2.3.

This is what you can do right now:
a) change line 474 to read #what_sorted.... (that disables the sorting
of the rename map, it will be slightly harder to read, but often this is
no problem)
b) apply this patch http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.6/rev/9ed9176ac6dc
c) run the migration on a machine with python 2.4 or 2.5

The fix will also be included in 1.6.1 (expected in next few weeks).
