If you don't want to get Apache's Auth* directives involved,
you can use the PythonAccessHandler instead.  That request
phase occurs between the authentication and fixup phases,
and is called regardless of any require directives.  It's a bit
cheating, since authentication is not exactly the purpose of
that phase, but you can still use it as such with some
restrictions.
