If you are on Linux, just run with sudo:

sudo python meuScript.py

In the case of windows (since you mentioned administrator instead of root, I suppose that is the case), there are some options:

You can run the terminal with administrator privileges.

Start - > cmd - > right click - > Run as administrator.

You can also press CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER after typing cmd. After that, just run the script normally.

Make the script itself request for administrator privileges:

    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)
