[CentOS] selinux question

I have a web application which uses sudo to invoke python scripts as the
user under which the application runs (NO root access).  Is there any
reason why sudo would would require sys_ptrace access for this?  I only
get this violation intermittenly, and not with every call to sudo. 
Here's the violation:

Summary:

SELinux is preventing sudo (httpd_t) "sys_ptrace" to <Unknown> (httpd_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by sudo. It is not expected that this access is
required by sudo and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also
possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.
