How to edit files protected with sudo privileges using Python?

Question

linux

Good afternoon.
There is a file with configs /etc/3proxy/proxy.cfg
How can I edit this file using Python if sudo rights are needed there?

Answer 1

sudo ./script.py

Answer 2

What does protected by sudo privileges mean? The file has an owner and access rights, respectively, you must either specify the correct file owner and access rights, or run the script as root (sudo), the second is not recommended in the general case.
