I was sent the following traceback which seems to correspond to someone who is using the Bioregistry, which has PyStow as a transitive dependency. They call code that invokes the Bioregistry, which imports PyStow and tries to create a README file in its default folder. However, the default folder is created in the home directory of the server, which is
/var/www
, and this user doesn't have permission to write in that folder.Therefore, the solution is to change the PyStow configuration to overwrite the default location and pick somewhere where the user has write privileges. Changing the default Pystow location can be done by following instructions here: https://pystow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#configuration
