I'm currently working on a python daemon which needs to be able to correctly drop privileges after opening ports and files that it needs to open as root.
I'm used from C programming to use setresuid() to change the real, effective and saved uid in one go, and although the os module has some of the set*uid() functions it doesn't seem to have setresuid(). Nor could I find any another functions in os.* or posix.* which manipulate the saved uid...so how do I get/set the saved uid in python?
