title: Django: PYTHON_EGG_CACHE, access denied error
body: <p>I am deploying my django application on a server, and on last stages I am getting this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ExtractionError at /admin/
  
  Can't extract file(s) to egg cache
  
  The following error occurred while trying to extract file(s) to the Python egg
  cache:
  
  [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/.python-eggs'
  
  The Python egg cache directory is currently set to:
  
  /.python-eggs
  
  Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?  You can
  change the cache directory by setting the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment
  variable to point to an accessible directory.

  <p>Maybe someone come across similar issue? </p>
