"Yes"

I don't know what the current state of the openid logins there is, for a
while there were known problems.

In any case, in order to edit you have to be added to the editors' list
(it's a minimal anti-spam protection, you just tell the team you'd like
to edit something particular and they add you).  I admit I don't know
how to do that with a login that isn't a wiki login.

In any case, you want to write to pydotorg-www at python.org if you want to
edit the wiki.
