Thanks for the details, I have sent through a request for edit permissions. I almost never actually use the python wiki any more but it's useful to have an account that actually works.
I don't care enough to have an opinion on the why they are restricting edit permissions. It would be nice if there was say... a reasonable way to tell the user what the process is to get edit permissions. Hiding the edit button is one way, but it's not exactly great. I guess requiring people actively hunt around trying to find how to edit, find in page, google ,email. Perhaps they could hide the new account button? That would reduce spam for sure.
