Re: Problems after Debian upgrade

First of all let me thank all of you for quick reply and for your time :)

I checked and confirm that under
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ I got a MoinMoin file ad
directory, under /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ I got
nothing.

What should I do? I can safely create a symlink under
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ to the python2.6/dist-packages
file and directory or there's a better solution.
I presume there's some compiled stuff in this directory.

Reguarding compile, I found this page
(http://moinmo.in/HelpOnUpdatingPython) and tried to lauch: python -c
"import compileall; compileall.compile_dir('/usr/local/share/moin')"
It seems to work without error but still nothing under
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ and nothing changed on the
website.

I also tried to configure two alternatives for python using Debian
scripts (update-alternatives) but nothing changed, I presume because
wheezy mod_wsgi is compiled for the default distribution python
package (2.7.3).

Obviously on every test I tried to restart Apache to reload modules.

I got some problems lauching this command (also as root or apache
user), I got this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/moin", line 5, in <module>
    from MoinMoin.script.moin import run
ImportError: No module named MoinMoin.script.moin

I thought it was caused by packages under Python directory, so I tried
to lauch It directly using python2.6 binary and it worked:
apache@ritz:~$ /usr/bin/python2.6 $(which moin)
--config-dir=/usr/local/share/moin --wiki-url=wiki/ maint cleancache

You're right, I don't use mod_python, perhaps it's an old module from
previous setup, this server was installed as Debian etch and upgraded
to lenny, squeeze and now wheezy, on an old Via EPIA 5000A.
I immediately removed it.
