How do I implement a mod_python style authenhandler/authzhandler using mod_wsgi?

I have a simple mod_python script that provides authentication and authorization for a large static website. We're migrating from CentOS 4 to Scientific Linux 6 and I discover that mod_python isn't bundled anymore so I need to convert to mod_wsgi. All the examples for mod_wsgi I've found assume either Basic or Digest authentication which isn't the case for me.

Based on th开发者_运维知识库is, it appears I can't readily convert over.

Any pointers? I'm willing to entertain alternative solutions (well, with the possible exception to using mod_perl =P ).

Suggested at:

to use mod_auth_tkt instead.
