Upendra Kumar added the comment:

Can I somehow change the setup.py script such that I can create a new set of 
(group, user) with specific privileges only needed for installation and 
uninstallation.

Once a new set of (group, user) is created, I can always do 

os.setgid(gid) and os.setuid(uid)

But, I can't figure out how to change setup.py to create a new set of 
permissions during installation. It should be possible because at time of 
installation setup.py runs with sudo privileges.
