About execute “sudo python3 program” at ubuntu 1604
I have a python program needs to get the information from smartctl,
it means the program executes as the title.
But the QT interface looks like a change to a native interface
How do I solve this problem?
Thanks,
Stephen

If you are using smartctl with subprocess.Popen() and nothing else needs sudo privilege except subprocess.Popen() you can just add sudo to that part. For example,
subprocess.Popen(['sudo','smartctl','-i','/dev/sda'])
Since you're mentioning Qt in your question, you probably want to save user's password via a dialog and pass the password to subprocess via stdin. For instance,
proc = subprocess.Popen(['sudo','-S','smartctl','-i','/dev/sda',stdin=subprocess.PIPE])
smartctl_output = proc.communicate(input=user_password_variable)
Depending on your purpose, you also might consider adding your username to disk group so that you shouldn't need to use sudo with smartctl at all

pkexecmight be better here. It should show a graphical prompt for password.

@SergiyKolodyazhnyyfor basic use cases it seems to be autoconfigured in 18.04, probably in earlier versions too but for sure i assume in following versions.
