I have a python app that requires elevated privileges on Vista when

wondering if there was a way with a standard install of python 2.6
that I can check if I have the correct privileges and if not relaunch
the app required privileges.

I have an application that uses something that auto updates but it may not be the same process as yours. I have a "stub" executable that checks a network location for a different copy of the "real" executable. If one exists, it copies the exe to the application folder and executes it. My solution for Vista - which works very well - is to put my application in a folder C:\users\public\applications\myapplication.

This way there is no need for raised privileges.
