I've tested code that requires root access in pyCharm by running sudo pycharm.sh but this is not the way I would recommend of doing so.
I know it's possible to debug with sudo privileges by running the python interpreter as sudo in pyCharm but how do we do this?

Now go to PyCharm, go to File > Settings > Project Interpreter. Click on the settings icon and click on the green plus icon to add interpreter. Browse to the directory where you have saved the python-sudo.sh and select it. Save changes and exit.
From the terminal instead of doing python yourProgram.py , do sudo python yourProgram.py . It will ask for your password so type it and it should run.
Use the script as your Python interpreter Click the gear icon by the current Project Interpreter drop-down, and choose "Add…". Then choose Existing environment. Browse to python-sudo.sh and select it, and set it as the interpreter for the project. Now when you run or debug, the code will run as root.
Create a shell script that does "sudo python" and forwards the arguments, and configure that script as a Python interpreter in PyCharm.
Name of this shell script should start with python (source: http://forum.jetbrains.com/message/PyCharm-424-3).

In PyCharm new version, it has a configure to run Python interpreter in root, no need workaround. See picture below. Check to checkbox: Execute code using this interpreter with root privileges via sudo
