Howdy,A script running as a regular user sometimes wants to run sudo commands. It gets the password with getpass. pw = getpass.getpass() I've fiddled a bunch with stuff like proc = subprocess.Popen('sudo touch /etc/foo'.split(), stdin=subprocess.PIPE) proc.communicate(input=pw) getting assorted errors with all variations I try. Googling says use pexpect, but I'd prefer a stdlib solution.
pexpect is pure python, and it's needed. There is no easy way around the issue, so if you insist on not using pexpect, you re-invent the wheel and write the exact same code - just more error-prone, because of wheel-reinvention....
