The allow_access() hook in mod_wsgi is only intended as a way of allowing or 
forbidding access base on host and nothing more.

To do anything more gets really complicated as you start to need a full blown 
Python wrapper for Apache's internal request object and hooking mechanism. The 
mod_python module did that, and I didn't specifically want to go down that path 
as it would have involved huge amounts of more work and make it much harder to 
maintain, with only a very small number of people even wanting it.

Is there a specific reason you can't use mod_auth_tkt? If using Apache 2.4, 
have you looked at mod_session which is a part of Apache itself?
