This is a static archive of the Python wiki, which was retired in February 2026 due to lack of usage and the resources necessary to serve it — predominately to bots, crawlers, and LLM companies.
Pages are preserved as they were at the time of archival. For current information, please visit python.org.
If a change to this archive is absolutely needed, requests can be made via the infrastructure@python.org mailing list.

Help Contents

Welcome to MoinMoin. You will find here the help pages for the wiki system itself.

If you would like a quick overview of MoinMoin's syntax, have a look at HelpOnMoinWikiSyntax. If you are looking for something for a presentation, look at WikiCourse.

(!) Fulltext search is available on FindPage.

If you find any errors on the help pages, please describe them on HelpErrata. Please do not edit or create help pages in other wikis than MoinMaster (see HelpContents), because the pages from MoinMaster will overwrite any other changes on wiki engine upgrades. Please follow the established structure of help pages if you want to change pages in MoinMaster. Before doing any major or widespread changes please discuss that on the mailing list or MoinMoin wiki.
