According to http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/conventions.html
#chapter-testing
"Creates the directory .doctest if it does not exist and the file
.doctest/foo.py."
Unfortunately, it probably does this in the ~ directory, right? No way to
force something else?
From the installation guide:
SAGE_TESTDIR - a temporary directory used during Sage’s doctesting.
The default is to use the directory $DOT_SAGE/tmp, but you can override
that by setting this variable.
So try setting this environment variable. You could also set DOT_SAGE to
something else.
Thanks, John! I knew this had to be somewhere, but it's not in the
"testing" section. In fact, it's neither in
http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/doctesting.html
nor
http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/conventions.html

This ticket is to put at least brief references or links on those pages
(in the appropriate doctest places) to any relevant environment variables,
such as `SAGE_TESTDIR`.
