when gksudo is rejected current operation is not cancelled

[TAC one]

Depending on what he's doing, when user refuses to enter root's password, the current operation is not cancelled and the program will ask user password for every next command in the current operation.

How to reproduce:
$ sudo -k
$ ./rapache.py
click "new", enter a domain name and press Return.
When the gksudo dialog pops out click "cancel".
The program will ask the user for root's password 2-3 times.

Expected behaviour:
Once cancelled the gksudo, the program should cancel the entire vhost creation without asking the password anymore

there is a python module called import gksu2 in python-gnome2-extras

This should give you what you need

Basic class i've been playing with

Grabs the password opens a pipe and feeds in password to sudo returns code, stdout and any error text.

Also logs the command

Theres a sudo bug that effects here

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/+bug/46890

This means that after a first successful sudo password an incorrect password succeds

New notes by KillerKiwi:

(11:20:21 PM) KillerKiwi2005: its a bit ugly.. if you pipe stdout and stderr than the process loses its tty hooks so sudo ticket is created under 'undefined'
(11:22:21 PM) tacone: did you find a workaround ?
(11:22:47 PM) KillerKiwi2005: yeah dont capute stderr or run sudo -K with piping
