Travis CI - Run deploy step (PyPI) as sudo?

I have a Python project that uses tox. Some unit tests require sudo, so .travis.yml has 

script:
- sudo tox

However, this leaves the egg-info file and others owned by root. So when Travis runs the deploy step (as user), it gives the following output:

Deploying application
running sdist
running egg_info
writing requirements to myproject.egg-info/requires.txt
error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'myproject.egg-info/requires.txt'
ValueError: Cannot find file (or expand pattern): 'dist/*'

How can I run the deploy step as root, or otherwise get around this issue?

Not sure of whether some smartness can be applied with tox itself, but you could start your deploy stage with a script along the following lines:

- sudo chown --changes --recursive $(whoami):$(id --group $(whoami)) .

This sets all the files in the current directory to the current user, and the main group of the current user.
