Thanks for your answer Rahul, but your solution is (as you know), not
ideal as I am planning to run a series of commands, on of them a
prompt.
I was thinking something in the lines of:
with prefix("sudo su deploymentuser"):
    with cd("/home/deploymentuser/productioncode/"):
        # do commands
But it just feels wrong.

I hope someone else has some experience with this problem, as it can
not be a very unique one.
