to start a script as root, you could use

Code:

echo /path/to/script | sudo gainroot

or

/bin/busybox sh -c 'echo /path/to/script | sudo gainroot'

that script can be a shell script, python or anything else, as long as the executable flag (+x) is set.

(and just to mention it - there really is no point in using python if all you're doing are calls to os.system, better just use a shell script for that.)
