Python: Use sudo to re-launch a script as root
# This is how I ensure a Python script is launched as root, and automatically
# call 'sudo' to re-launch it as root if not.
# I found it useful to check the parameters are valid *before* re-launching as
# root, so I don’t have to enter the sudo password if there is a problem with
# the parameters, or I just want the help message.
