Does this work

 $ dbus-send --session --print-reply \
             --dest=org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.AuthenticationAgent / \
             org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.AuthenticationAgent.ObtainAuthorization \
             string:org.freedesktop.hal.storage.crypto-setup-fixed \
             uint32:0 \
             uint32:$PPID

replacing org.freedesktop.hal.storage.crypto-setup-fixed of course with
what you need. If so it should work from python too. Assuming of course
the application is running unprivileged.
