Comment(by was):
I'm concerned -- I think this would first time any environment variable is
used to configure the notebook. I think there is a much better and more
standard way to implement this feature, which is unfortunately more work
and requires knowing a lot more about how the notebook works. However, it
is better in the longrun, since it will be much less confusing to admins
and easier to maintain.
For the notebook, implementing the following would be much more natural:
{{{
notebook(local_directory = '/path/you/want', ...)
}}}
This would involve modifying the notebook.py file by editing
"new_worksheet_process" and run_notebook.py, etc. Also, this new option
would be part of the server configuration database (currently a pickle,
but someday a SQL table), so it would automatically be something that can
be edited graphically by the notebook admin from the notebook
configuration settings webpage.
So a big +1 to having this feature, but -1 to using environment variables
in the longrun to implement it, since we already have a standard system
for configuring the server, and it isn't via environment variables.
Thoughts?
