Change to sudo user within a python script

Question

I have a problem. I am writing a piece of software, which is required to perform an operation which requires the user to be in sudo mode. running \'sudo python filename.py\'

Answer 1

Are you talking about having the user input password half way through your execution? raw_input() can take a user input from console, but it will not mask the password.

>>>> y = raw_input()
somehting
>>> y
'somehting'
