    in comments to the answer you took the code from someone says ShellExecuteEx doesn't post its STDOUT back to the originating shell. so you will not see "I am root now", even though the code is probably working fine.

    instead of printing something, try writing to a file:

    import os
    import sys
    import win32com.shell.shell as shell
    ASADMIN = 'asadmin'
    
    if sys.argv[-1] != ASADMIN:
        script = os.path.abspath(sys.argv[0])
        params = ' '.join([script] + sys.argv[1:] + [ASADMIN])
        shell.ShellExecuteEx(lpVerb='runas', lpFile=sys.executable, lpParameters=params)
        sys.exit(0)
    with open("somefilename.txt", "w") as out:
        print >> out, "i am root"
    

    and then look in the file.

    This worked for me:


    import win32com.client as client
    
    required_command = "cmd" # Enter your command here
    
    required_password = "Simple1" # Enter your password here
    
    def run_as(required_command, required_password):
        shell = client.Dispatch("WScript.shell")
        shell.Run(f"runas /user:administrator {required_command}")
        time.sleep(1)
        shell.SendKeys(f"{required_password}\r\n", 0)
    
    
    if __name__ = '__main__':
        run_as(required_command, required_password)

    Thank you all for your reply. I have got my script working with the module/ script written by Preston Landers way back in 2010. After two days of browsing the internet I could find the script as it was was deeply hidden in pywin32 mailing list. With this script it is easier to check if the user is admin and if not then ask for UAC/ admin right. It does provide output in separate windows to find out what the code is doing. Example on how to use the code also included in the script. For the benefit of all who all are looking for UAC on windows have a look at this code. I hope it helps someone looking for same solution. It can be used something like this from your main script:-

    import admin
    if not admin.isUserAdmin():
            admin.runAsAdmin()
    

    The actual code is:-

    #!/usr/bin/env python
    # -*- coding: utf-8; mode: python; py-indent-offset: 4; indent-tabs-mode: nil -*-
    # vim: fileencoding=utf-8 tabstop=4 expandtab shiftwidth=4

            try:

            except:

            return os.getuid() == 0

    Also if your working directory is different than you can use lpDirectory

        procInfo = ShellExecuteEx(nShow=showCmd,
                              lpVerb=lpVerb,
                              lpFile=cmd,
                              lpDirectory= unicode(direc),
                              lpParameters=params)
    

    Will come handy if changing the path is not a desirable option remove unicode for python 3.X

    It worth mentioning that if you intend to package your application with PyInstaller and wise to avoid supporting that feature by yourself, you can pass the --uac-admin or --uac-uiaccess argument in order to request UAC elevation on start.
