is there a way to unpack into different locations?

[colearendt]

This is a bit of an admittedly strange question forced by circumstance:

• RStudio Workbench configures the jupyter location once for the entire installation (i.e. all session containers must have jupyter at the same location): https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio-pro/issues/1692
• By depending on the python version, we lose the ability to use different images with different python versions
• Installing jupyter to /opt/python/jupyter, then, is a nice pattern for setting up the IDE to use either local sessions or remote, different python versions, and allowing for different jupyter "kernels" to be registered

As a result, is it possible to unpack a python build at /opt/python/jupyter?

--transform takes a sed pattern, so:

$ tar -zt -f python-3.8.9-ubuntu-2004.tar.gz --show-transformed-names --transform='s/[[:digit:]]\+\.[[:digit:]]\+\.[[:digit:]]\+/jupyter/' | head
jupyter/
jupyter/bin/
jupyter/bin/pip
jupyter/bin/2to3
jupyter/bin/iptest3
jupyter/bin/2to3-3.8
jupyter/bin/pygmentize
jupyter/bin/ipython3
jupyter/bin/ipython
jupyter/bin/pydoc3.8
