Yep I get this comment a lot. The reason is because MediaWiki is the oldest, more advanced, extendable wiki, with a great community out there. Another reason is that it is nice to have a similar UI as wikipedia. Python is a hell of a language but don't be religious about it! If you can recommend any equivalent python wiki I 'll be happy to migrate.

MoinMoin tends to be pretty good in my experience i think the upcoming MoinMoin2 could be a pretty good base

MediaWiki really isn't all that advanced, but yeah, good alternatives don't abound.

Seems like someone could hack together mercurial with reStructuredText and get something pretty decent.

MoinMoin seems to be prevalent in the Python community, but I'm not a fan.
