Reload Apache from a Python script

I want to reload my apache server using a Python script. What will that be?

I know the terminal command , ie

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

This is what I tried:-

import os
c = "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload"

os.system(c)

says sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified

How can I reload my server ?

2021 here. I could use sudo, even with vanilla apache2 installation.

import os
c = "sudo service apache2 restart"
os.system(c)
