suid root with python

[Skaperen]

i look forward to your examples. what i want to do is in a project that will have several processes and needs root, to limit the processes that have root powers to just those that need it (1 or 2). if i can figure out how to have my script get the file data when the tarfile module is extracting a tar archive, or how to have my script provide the data when it is creating a tar archive. the archive can be handled but i also need to handle all the data on the other end, too. this is getting to be a complex project.
