Suppose I call the su command via python's os.system("su") and after entering root mode I want python to execute a list of commands in this freshly entered root/superuser mode..how do I get a premature return value without exiting the root mode ?

1You could use the `pexpect` module. – Blender Apr 24 '13 at 18:23

Alternatively use `subprocess.Popen` and check the stderr and stdout streams. – jmetz Apr 24 '13 at 18:24
