Python or not python is irrevelant here.
As last resort, if you don't want to use su, sudo or ksu, you can use
a setuid/setgid wrapper program to execute your script:
---- wrapper.c -----
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
execlp("/full/path/to/script", "script", "arg1", "arg2", NULL);
perror("script");
return 1;
}
-------------------
arg1/arg2 is the first/second argument to the script, if any. ie:
"-c" "filename". If there is no args, then leave them out.
---- Makefile -----
PROG= wrapper
NOMAN= yep
.include <bsd.prog.mk>
-------------------
- put the wrapper.c and the Makefile in a dir, and issue the make command.
- change the owner (group), ie.: chown joeuser:joegroup wrapper
- turn the setuid bit on: chmod 04555 wrapper (not the script)
Hope this helps,
