egg and modpython

[Wensheng]

I installed pysqlite2 using easy_install.
and got this when using it from modpython:

ExtractionError: Can't extract file(s) to egg cache

The following error occurred while trying to extract file(s) to the
Python egg
cache:

  [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/www/.python-eggs'

The Python egg cache directory is currently set to:

  /var/www/.python-eggs

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?  You
can
change the cache directory by setting the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment
variable to point to an accessible directory.

Can peak developers fix this please?


I know I won't have this problem with python 2.5 because it has
sqlite3, but this affect other eggs too!
Here's similiar occurance, I can't reply it since it's too old.
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/d35e5264a6b491d5/cee519cb5557ad0e

in the mean time, I just have to use old "download, unzip/untar &&
python setup.py install" way.

Thanks
