Cannot create directory in Python (can do so manually..need admin permission)

Question

When I run os.mkdir() for a certain directory. I can't create a directory. However, I can do so manually (with admin dialog coming on before the creation, this is windows 7 btw). How would I run the os.mkdir() as admin?

Python is a scripting language. In order to have administrative rights, Python process has to be ran as admin as well. And also, you might be interested in: Request UAC elevation from within a Python script?
