CONDA_PREFIX overriding JULIA_DEPOT_PATH about pyjuliapkg HOT 4 CLOSED

That shouldn't happen, I think you must be on an old version of JuliaPkg - can you update and try again please.

I think you must be on an old version of JuliaPkg

Oh, you're right - I'm sorry, I thought I was on juliapkg v0.1.7, but something must have been mixed up with my Python paths. That why I tried the JULIA_DEPOT_PATH route in the first place, because PYTHON_JULIAPKG_PROJECT didn't seem to have any effect.

Sorry again!

Your issue is nothing to do with JULIA_DEPOT_PATH, which is not modified by this package. The location of Julia projects is unrelated to the depot unless you are using a default/shared/temporary project, but this package explicitly sets the project to be inside your Python environment.

So your issue really is that this package assumes your Python environment is writeable, which it is not in your case. A couple of workarounds are (a) don't use the root conda environment (which is generally a good idea anyway) or (b) set PYTHON_JULIAPKG_PROJECT to some writable directory or (c) get the user with write permission in the root environment to also initialise JuliaPkg.

Sorry, yes, I should have put that better, JULIA_DEPOT_PATH itself is not changed, of course. But setting PYTHON_JULIAPKG_PROJECT doesn't seem to help:

$ export PYTHON_JULIAPKG_PROJECT=/tmp/pyjlprj
$ python

>>> import juliapkg
>>> juliapkg.project()
[juliapkg] ...
...
OSError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/opt/anaconda3/julia_env'
