pkg_resources.ExtractionError: Can't extract file(s) to egg cache

The following error occurred while trying to extract file(s) to the Python egg
cache:

  SandboxViolation:
mkdir('/home/gioby/.python-eggs/simplejson-2.0.9-py2.5-linux-i686.egg-tmp/simple
json',

The package setup script has attempted to modify files on your system
that are not within the EasyInstall build area, and has been aborted.

This package cannot be safely installed by EasyInstall, and may not
support alternate installation locations even if you run its setup
script by hand.  Please inform the package's author and the EasyInstall
maintainers to find out if a fix or workaround is available.

The Python egg cache directory is currently set to:

  /home/gioby/.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.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.
