I found another solution by editing the htaccess file for a temporary
solution:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "My Wiki"
AuthUserFile /path/to/passwdFile
require valid-user
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from <IP the render server uses to access the wiki>
Satisfy any

with this you allow the renderserver to access the wiki without
authentication. my renderserver is on the same server as my wiki so i
used:

Allow from localhost 127.0.0.1 <public ip of server>

I hope that helps until the python scripts are fixed.
