Fix Python – Request UAC elevation from within a Python script?

by

I want my Python script to copy files on Vista. When I run it from a normal cmd.exe window, no errors are generated, yet the files are NOT copied. If I run cmd.exe “as administator” and then run my script, it works fine.

Python 2.7.3 32bit installed on Windows 7 64bit. Download, extracting, and then trying to install PyCrypto results in “Unable to find vcvarsall.bat”.
