I see. I'm not very good in using linux.

I've have a (rather kludgy) workaround. 1 - Edit the sudoers file so that the user you want to be able to run the Python script that uses the Adafruit IO libraries can 'sudo /usr/bin/python' without entering a password. 2 - Change the shebang on your Python script to '#!/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/python'. The user will then switch to root privilege to run the Python interpreter which runs the script. It's a nasty kludge and introduces security holes galore but it does make it possible to pretend that everythng can be done in ordinary user mode. (If you need more detail on how to do this I'm happy to provide it but the sudo/sudoers man page should get you on your way) -- Chris Green ยท -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
