[Feature] Environment variable for openml cache #1324
Comments
Note that on Linux we already observe openml-python/openml/config.py Lines 106 to 109 in 449f2cb
as proposed in #884. That said, adding another option (that takes precedence, if set) does not take a lot of work, and would add an environment option with cross-platform support. |
The use case just to be more transparent is that I have a cli I can control which launches another script which may use openml but may not necessarily allow a passed in option to set the cache directory. It's not very problematic in this scenario but I've always been super appreciative of an environment variable in just the right place |
Sorry if I sounded negative towards the idea. I do think it's a good suggestion and am in favor of adding it, I just wanted to point out that for some use cases it already kind-of supports what you were asking for. |
This could be useful in certain scenarios where you may have programmatic access before running something but during the execution of the python script, you do not have access to it.
I would recommend something like
"OPENML_CACHE_DIRECTORY"
