The mod_wsgi module implements the newer Apache concept of
authentication providers whereby you only need to authenticate the
user and not actually generate the error page, Apache will do the
latter for you, or you can use an ErrorDocument directive to redirect
to a custom page of your own.

For access handler, mod_wsgi provides a simpler mechanism for what is
the common idiom that hook is used for. That is indicating whether a
remote client should be allowed access.
