pysudoer

This is a @o/elecron-sudo's python port.

Run a subprocess with administrative privileges, prompting the user with a graphical OS dialog if necessary.

• Windows, uses elevate utility with native User Account Control (UAC) prompt (no PowerShell required)

• OS X, uses bundled applet (inspired by Joran Dirk Greef)

• Linux, uses system pkexec or gksudo (system or bundled).

If you don't trust binaries bundled in pip package you can manually build tools and use them instead.
