Hello Neil,
Your python captcha script is still around. It was packaged by Brion Vibber in the ConfirmEdit extension which is in svn at:
svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/ConfirmEdit
I guess the easier would be for you to get an access to our subversion repository: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Commit_access (you will find out we have some VERY young commiters).
Once done, you can update the old script and we will be able to review the code, comment it and amend it if needed.
Our CodeReview tool is at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki Just enter the path /trunk/extensions/ConfirmEdit to see the last 50 changes made to that extension :-)
cheers,
Neil, please do give us a link to your code, and please do apply for commit access to improve the ConfirmEdit extension.
An idea for another improvement to ConfirmEdit -- doing a version of reCAPTCHA that helps WikiSource. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32695 is the issue in our issue tracker.
