I've downloaded and installed this today and have hit one small  
problem. When trying to login to a newly created a/c I get the  
following error (cut'n'pasted from the end of the web page):

       /usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/MoinMoin/user.py in  
_validatePassword (self=<MoinMoin.user.User at 0x2a9bf8acf8  
name:u'xxxxxxx' valid:0>, data={u'aliasname': u'', u'bookmarks': {},

u'0', u'edit_on_doubleclick': u'0', u'edit_rows': u'20',  
u'editor_default': u'text', u'editor_ui': u'freechoice', ...},

          2. 523 if epwd[:6] == '{SSHA}':
          3. 524 data = base64.b64decode(epwd[6:])
          4. 525 salt = data[20:]
          5. 526 hash = sha.new(password)
           * data = {u'aliasname': u'', u'bookmarks': {}, u'css_url':

I'm running this on Scientific Linux SL release 4.7 which is a  
recomplied RHEL 4 with mod_python 3.1.3-5.1.

Is 1.8.0 not compatible with python 2.3? Upgrading the box is not an  
option.

Thanks,
