Description

When building a xapian search index with the moin command, a Name Error occurs:

NameError: global name 'sys' is not defined

Steps to reproduce

1. Stop wiki
2. Execute moin index build command

moin --wiki-url=xxx.yyyy:8000/ index build --mode=add

Wiki in question (xxx) runs in a wiki farm, index build succeeds for other (very small) wiki in farm. Fails for other larger wiki with same error.

Example

c:\wiki\upa>moin --wiki-url=xxx.yyyy:8000/ index build --mode=add

Details

Workaround

Add this somewhere near the top of the file where the other imports are (File C:\python\lib\site-packages\MoinMoin\filter\__init__.py):

import sys
