Authorization
- Authorization is a Python wrapper for Apple's Authorization API. Basically, it allows you to spawn arbitrary processes as root after successfully authenticating as an administrator. This is useful for installers, twiddling kernel settings (via sysctl or the like), etc.
status
Authorization is currently at its first public release, 0.1.

13 auth = Authorization(destroyflags=(kAuthorizationFlagDestroyRights,))
14 fd, name = tempfile.mkstemp('.py')
15 os.write(fd, AUTHORIZEDTOOL)
16 os.close(fd)
