[matplotlib-devel] when $HOME filesystem not writable

From: <e.b...@ep...> - 2014-04-18 08:46:11

Hello,

  I run my code from a batch system, from where the $HOME-filesystem is not 
writable. In __init__.py in _get_home it finds ("~"), but then crashes 
because it doesn't have access to it. I tried to set XDG_CONFIG_HOME and 
MPLCONFIGDIR to circumvent this problem. But it still aborts. The only 
solution I have found so far is to hack the code and replace ("~") by my 
writable work-directory.

  Is there any other way to tell it which directory to use - without having 
to touch the actual code?

Thanks,
         Elena

Which version of matplotlib are you using? I am fairly certain we fixed
this problem for Google App Engine, which also does not have writable home
directories.

Elena,

Is it possible for you to use the current master branch?  We
definitely fixed this so that it would work with gae.

Tom,

  I can use the current master branch. But in contrast to the issue on 
Google App Engine, the computer I am working on can see the HOME-dir, so 
it will set it. But then it has no read/write permissions on it (when 
running as a batch job).

Thanks,
Elena
