[Tutor] iPython check if user running script is root user (Linux)

[Dave]

Hi. What is the right way to have an iPython script check to see if the
user is currently root?

Here's how I do it in bash scripts:


########################## CHECK USERNAME PRIVILEGE
################################

if [ $(id -u) != "0" ];then
       echo "This script must be run as root."
       exit 1
fi
