One way to achive that would be:

Make a sudoers file with this inside:

Code:

user ALL = NOPASSWD: /home/user/.scriptfolder/script.py

(Note it would be safer if the script was placed in /opt/somewhere and owned by root with 744 privileges though)

and place it in /etc/sudoers.d/

in the first line of your py code add this to make it execute directly:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python2.5

from inside you code to execute the script as root:

Code:

os.system('sudo  /home/user/.scriptfolder/script.py')

Should work..
