Wouldn't a simple solution be creating a temporary home directory and directing
the tests there? From a quick look at the code, it seems os.path.expanduser is
used to determine the home directory, and according to the Python docs[1], "an
initial ~ is replaced by the environment variable HOME if it is set".

Kind regards,
