Hello,

  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?

Thanks,
         Elena
