setting PYTHON_EGG_CACHE doesn't do anything

when dealing with eggs and apache, it seems to be best to make sure they are installed unzipped: the easiest way to do this is to supply a "-Z" arg to easy_install when you setup... (I'm not at all a trac expert, but I've experienced similar issues with turbogears) -- though I don't really get why you have an egg installed at all, having looked at the install instructions for pysqlite & for trac, it doesn't appear likely that an egg would be installed (unless pysqlite is required as a dependency by trac's install, but I don't think that's true...)

As to your environ q, I wonder whether, given that the egg may be already unzipped by the time that modpython gets to it, it ignores the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE variable and uses the default value instead?

I'd guess that the answer, in any case, won't be on the trac forum, but you might try looking at the peak site (e.g. http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PkgResources#resource-extraction) who are, I believe the maintainers of the "egg" implementation.

Here's what I did.  I reasoned that the egg file is unpacked so that
some of its files are available as real files in the file system, and I
wasn't getting any bonus points for having the egg present in python's
site-packages directory as a file anyway.  So:

cd /path/to/python/site-packages
mv pysqlite-2.0.7-py2.4-linux-i686.egg foo.zip
mkdir pysqlite-2.0.7-py2.4-linux-i686.egg
cd pysqlite-2.0.7-py2.4-linux-i686.egg
unzip ../foo.zip
rm ../foo.zip

Now the egg file is unpacked, so the files are all present already in
the filesystem, nothing needs to be unpacked, PYTHON_EGG_CACHE is
irrelevant, and everybody is happy.

Perhaps that would work for you as well?

That does work, and thanks. I am sort of intellectually curious though as
to why the python interpreter is not honouring the environment variable.
