Debugging in pyCharm with sudo privileges?
Create a shell script that does "sudo python" and forwards the arguments, and configure that script as a Python interpreter in PyCharm.
Name of this shell script should start with python (source: http://forum.jetbrains.com/message/PyCharm-424-3).
For what it's worth, I've managed run a python script with sudo priviledges (on Ubuntu 16.04) like this:
In the very first line in the script, define the interpreter like this:
#!/usr/bin/sudo pythonMake the script executable:
chmod +x myscript.pyRun the script directly, without specifying the
pythoninterpreter yourself:./myscript.py- The script will ask for sudo password and continue running with elevated priviledges.
