That's slightly confusing.

We found that because of a student having major issues to get moin2
installed (it always fails strangely at argparse, which is pulled in as a
requirement of flask-script).

We first thought that somehow he does not get the zip correctly and asked
him for the md5sum, which differed from the one given on pypi.
But the zip contents (when extracted) seem to be the same, so maybe it is
just a different zip tool generating a slightly different archive.

may i suggest you create a 1.1.1 or 1.2 release to cleanup the md5sum and
licensing issues (see ticket #79)?

Sorry about that - not sure what has happened there.

I don't really have time to manage argparse externally any more. Heck, I
barely have time to fix bugs in the argparse in the standard library... ;-)
So I guess a new release is pretty unlikely at the moment.

I won't change the 1.1 release, but fix the issue for most people by a 1.2
release without that problem.
