Upendra Kumar added the comment: I facing problems in running the GUI application with root or elevated privileges. I earlier used gksudo for linux. It turns out be a not very general solution as all linux distros don't have gksudo.
Therefore, how to manage user permissions or group permissions. I want my program to run temporarirly with elevated permissions in order to install, update or uninstall python packages. I am using subprocess. Is it possible to run subprocess with elevated privileges and again reset the permissions when the shell process ends? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue27051> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
