There is the command "sudo" that allows you to do 1 single command as 
another user, for instance "sudo -u wps ls" will perform the command 
"ls" as user wps.

There is also the command "su" that allows you to do everythgin as 
another user, i.e. "su wps".

You may need to add yourself to the /etc/sudoers file to obtain 
permission for impersonating another user.


But frankly I think the best way to solve this is to debug via Python 
itself, becaus that will show you exactly what is happening within the 
Python environment.
