For some definition of "changes to that user":
# Untested code
from pwd import getpwnam
from os import setuid
setuid(getpwnam(raw_input("Who do you want to be? "))[2])
I don't recommend the one-liner version for production code, though.
You didn't say what the password was for, so I skipped asking for it.
