title: is there a way to script in Python to change user passwords in Linux? if so, how?
body: <p>I'm trying to write some scripts in Python and stumbled upon the need of making something to update the password of a given user in a Linux system...</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE: the objective is to achieve the script to update the password automatically from a given data/algorithm. The important thing is to have no human intervention...</p>
  
  <p>is there a way to achieve that? or should I search through other means?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
