[OT] Set temp location for a called process

2012-07-02 Thread Ian Thomas 
I'm creating a process (from .NET) that uses python 2.7 to do some stuff,
and would prefer that its temporary file space is somewhere other than the
default on the C: drive. As you can imagine, with SSD drives in common
usage, writing large temporary files could potentially cause some problems. 

I suspect python is forced to use the Windows environment variable TEMP =
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp - I wouldn't want to change that
permanently for the user, of course.

What are the available options?

var processStart = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(c:\app.exe,
some arguments);
processStart.EnvironmentVariables[TEMP] = @D:\mycustomtemp;
var process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
process.StartInfo = processStart;
process.Start();

Corneliu, that's great - I continually forget that .StartInfo has all the
Sets in it, whereas Process has only the Gets. 

 

I'll give it a try.
