...like making a single general purpose elevation script which can be fed
any python script, not relying on Leo at all. r5182 -3 introduces
`elevate.py` (and removes the wrapper mentioned above), which:
''' Open a new python intepreter after asking for elevated UAC permissions,
and feed it the python script specified on the command line.
python elevate.py d:\full\path\to\some-script.py {args for some-script}
'''
At one point I had a version which also accepted python commands on the
command line: `python elevate.py -c "print 40+2"`, but that's not working
now. I think because the quotes don't get passed all the way through to the
end interpreter properly.
The fact that I couldn't find any ready made python privilege escalation
tools leaves me thinking this whole line of inquiry must have something
truly weird about it, that I'm climbing the mountain instead of using the
track running over the pass, just a few metres off to the right. Still,
having followed the goats up and over the scree I do see the valley below
on the other side, so am nearing my destination in any case. :)
