[moin-user] Uploading pages programmatically fails

[PETER BLEACKLEY]

I'm trying to transcribe a podcast to my MoinMoin instance. The code I use to upload the transcribed text is a follows.
def upload(item,transcript):
    """Gets transcrpt from sphinx, and uploads to MoinMoin"""
    link_url=None
    for link in item.links:
        if link['rel']=='alternate':
            link_url=link['href']
    print 'Reading',item['title'],'transcript from Sphinx'
    try:
        username='TranscriBot'
        password=os.environ['CSW_PASSWORD']
        wikiurl=u'http://sources.conlang.org'
        wiki=xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(wikiurl+'?action=xmlrpc2',allow_none=True)
        auth_token=wiki.getAuthToken(username,password)
        mc=xmlrpclib.MultiCall(wiki)
        mc.applyAuthToken(auth_token)
        page=u"""#format creole
                 = {{title}}
                 ==[[{url}|{title}]]\n
                 Published: {date} \\ \n
                 ===Transcript\n
                 {transcript}\n
                 ===Tags\n
                 {taglist}""".format(title=item['title'],
                                     url=link_url,
                                     date=item['published'],
                                     transcript=transcript.read(),
                                     taglist=u'\n'.join([u' # [[Conlangery Podcast]]']+[u' # [[{}]]'.format(tag['term'])
                                                                                          for tag in item['tags']]))
        title=item['title'].replace('#','').replace(':','')
        mc.putPage(u'Conlangery Podcast/{}'.format(title),page)
        infile=codecs.open('Conlangery_Podcast.txt','r','utf-8')
        index=infile.read()+' # [[Conlangery Podcast/{}]]\n'.format(title)
        mc.putPage('Conlangery Podcast',index)
        with codecs.open('Conlangery_Podcast.txt','w','utf-8') as ofile:
            ofile.write(index)
        for result in mc():
            print result
    except Exception as error:
        with open('TranscriBot_Error.log','a') as logfile:
            logfile.write(error.message+'\n')
TranscriBot has all the neccessary permissions, and is in a TrustedGroup that is exempt from my TextCha.
However, no pages have been written to my wiki. Nothing is printed out when mc() is called, and nothing is written to TranscriBot_Error.log either (unless it's a lot of blank lines).
Any idea what's wrong and how I can fix it?
