>> hciconfig hci0 >> hcitool lescan >> hcitool lecc <address> 

i need in python please tell me how super user , give password via python later execute above commands in order? meaning,i want automate whole process execute commands without manual intervention.

good security practice says should minimize time @ elevated privilege. 1 way put commands run root in different file , cause file run root. have several options:

  1. your script run other script sudo:
    subprocess.check_call(['sudo', '/we/run/as/root']);
  2. you make script 'setuid-root' , run it, no sudo needed:
    subprocess.check_call(['/we/run/as/root']);
    (however, on many systems not work because setuid-root disabled on scripts)
  3. like #2 use small c-program setuid-root , runs script:
    subprocess.check_call(['/the/c/program']); c-program is:
    int main(void) { return system("/we/run/as/root"); }
