spark-submit python file ‘home/.python-eggs’ permission denied

Question

I had a problem when I use spark-submit to run a python file.When the 'map' code run in 'executor', the problem like this :

Traceback (most recent call last):

  The following error occurred while trying to extract file(s) to the Python egg
  cache:
    [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/.python-eggs' 
  The Python egg cache directory is currently set to:  
   /home/.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.

I set the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment variable to every executor,and I also write 'os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = "/tmp/"' in my program,but the problem is still happen.

My code :

import os,sys
print "env::::"+os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE']
from pyspark import SparkConf, SparkContext
# Load and parse the data
def parsePoint(line):
    import os
    print "env::::"+os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE']
    os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = "/tmp/"
    values = [float(x) for x in line.split(' ')]
    return line

if __name__ == "__main__":
    os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = "/tmp/"
    print "env::::"+os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE']
    conf = SparkConf()
    sc = SparkContext(conf = conf)
    data = sc.textFile(sys.argv[1])
    parsedData = data.map(parsePoint)
    parsedData.collect()

I run this python program in 'standalone' model and succeeded. This is my submit command:

spark-submit --name test_py --master yarn-client testpy.py input/sample_svm_data.txt

Is the yarn's problem?

This is late, but it's the first result @ google I found with this problem... the previous answer is helpful (i wanted to know which env vars I had to modify), but please DONT modify editing Spark sources, just change environment variables using the proper tools, add this to your spark.conf variables...

spark.executorEnv.PYTHON_EGG_CACHE="./.python-eggs/"
spark.executorEnv.PYTHON_EGG_DIR="./.python-eggs/"
spark.driverEnv.PYTHON_EGG_CACHE="./.python-eggs/"
spark.driverEnv.PYTHON_EGG_DIR="./.python-eggs/"

(I prefer not to use /tmp/ because . will get deleted after my job ends, so eggs should disappear too IMO)
