How to set the path to store the intermediate files and results?

[ghost]

I am running this code in a docker container, which has not enough space left. Seems that it would store all the files under the path /tmp/. Could you please tell me how to set this path myself? Thanks in advance!

pyrouge uses the tempfile module to create temorary files. You can set the default directory for tempfile like this, before running pyrouge:

import tempfile tempfile.tempdir = "/some/temp/path"

Alternatively, you can set the TMPDIR, TEMP or TMP environment variables in your operating system.

Thanks for your answer! But I wonder which version of python should I use? I run pyrouge_evaluate_plain_text_files but got this error:

Please make sure that your input files are UTF-8. I looks like you're trying to open a file with windows-1252/cp1252 encoding.

@bheinzerling But they are just file names instead of file content. Aren't they?

I also have same problem,but I can do with part of my files.And come to 152 files,it show that errors.
