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?
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.

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

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
