Python runs the command as a regular user in the root of the script

I have a python script that runs as root, I cannot change it.

I would like to know if it is possible to output some lines of this script (or all scripts) as a regular user (I do not need to be root to run it).

The reason is because I use notifications, and python-notify does not work on all machines in the root (it looks like this: bug )

So, do you know if it is possible to change it, with a subprocess or another?
