Run Python script with root privileges (not from terminal)

How can I run a Python script which, upon execution, brings up a dialog prompting the user for his root password - so that the script is run as root, being able to make changes to files within the /... directories?
I'm using Gtk-2

Take a look at then just write a sh script which you chmod +x so that you can execute it then just use the script to launch the other script.
