Is there an easy way to disable Python egg caching? We have the situation where a system account needs to run a python program which imports a module.

Since this is a non-login robot account, it does not have a home directory, and dies trying to create the directory /.python-eggs.

What's the best way to fix this? Can I convert my eggs in site-files to something which will not be cached in .python-eggs?
