root permissions

[Walter Moreira]

Hello Python people.

Hope this question not to be too off topic.
Inside a Python script I must read a file owned by root with permissions
600. But I want the script can be executed by a normal user. What can I do?

I am using sudo but this implies that the users must be listed in /etc/sudoers
and they get all the privileges. Is there an elegant solution?

Thanks.  -- Walter
