No usable temporary directory found

Question

I am trying to find a temp directory , but when i am trying to get the directory using

tempfile.gettempdir()

it\'s giving me error of

Answer 1

This kind of error occured in two case

1. permission(should be drwxrwxrwt and owened by root)
2. space

To check space(disk usage)just run the command on terminal

df -h

Will list the disk usage on unix and get the output like

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5        28G   15G   12G  58% /

If the root(mounted on /) usage is 100%.

You need to clean the tmp directory or restart the machine or make some space on the root.
