Problem getting MoinMoin going

Please tell me if there's a better group to post this in--

I've been trying to get a MoinMoin installation up-and-running for the
last two days. I've installed the latest MoinMoin version, mod_python
(v. 2.3.4) is running, using Apache on a White Box Enterprise Linux VPS
installation.

So the basic MoinMoin install looks good--I can import it into Python
no problem. It's when I create a Wiki and run the test page that I get
problems. Here's a snippet from the test page (mywiki?action=test):

with the extended error looking like this:

======================================================================
ERROR: testSyntaxReference
(MoinMoin._tests.test_formatter.FormatterTestCase)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):

[...]

TypeError: cannot deepcopy this pattern object


I'm guessing that this all has something to do with the last line
(here's a heads-up: I know *nothing* about Python), but googling it
doesn't turn up anything useful. Trust me, I have *scoured* the
moinmoin site looking for a hint, nothing doing.

And also, I installed this all *to the letter*. I've read the install
instructions many times, and even uninstalled and reinstalled the wiki
instance twice.

I'm really pulling my hair out here, and would appreciate any help.

Thanks, Walter
