Fedora root access with python

[Chris Hughes]

I've written some software for ubuntu/debian linux and am porting it 
over to RPM-based distros and have relied heavily on gksu being called 
internally to perform root tasks with a graphical password. However 
fedora seems to have another system of authenticating root access, how 
do I do that graphically via an internal command line or through python?
