'MoinMoin 1.9 invalid syntax

I'm trying to transfer MoinMoin to a new machine (Mac) and keep getting and invalid syntax error when I try to run wikiserver.py (with python2.6):

/moin-1.9-master/MoinMoin/support/werkzeug/utils.py", line 189 "area", ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I'd appreciate any helpful hints!

I was following the instructions at https://moinmo.in/DesktopEdition and expected the server to start up, but instead I got the invalid syntax error.
