Moin uses a umask of 0770 by default, so starting with a data dir with
uid/gid == that of the moin process and rwX for user and group (and no
access for world) is a good idea.

For simplicity, assume everything.

As long as the moin process can find and read the *.py, it is fine.
For some better performance, you also want python to be able to store
the *.pyc, so creating new files (writing the *.pyc) should be also
possible.
