[PyX-user] Permission issues with temporary files when scripting through Apache

[William H. <wb...@un...>]

Hello,

I am using PyX to generate dynamic PDFs through Apache (and Django). I
understand that there can be issues going through Apache. Can anyone
point me to some actual code that will provide a work around?

My errors:
