Pudo Package

This is an Python Package for running Linux commands with root permission. We can see this as an alternative to Linux sudo command without password prompt.

user$ python3 # or python2
>>> import pudo
>>> (ret, out) = pudo.run(('ls', '/root')) # or pudo.run('ls /root')
>>> print(ret)
>>> 0
>>> print(out)
>>> b'Desktop\nDownloads\nPictures\nMusic\n'
