determine build root?

[Alex Samuel]

Hi,

Is there a way to ask conda its build root? I don't see it in the output of "conda info" and there's no mention of it in conda-api. I can fish it out of conda.base.context.context.local_build_root, but I think that's not a public API, and besides it's only available in a root environment, not in any other environment.

Anywhere else I should look? Or does this belong in "conda info"? (Or perhaps "conda info --json"?)

Thanks,

Alex

I think this is really a conda build property.  In conda build's API, you can create a Config() instance and get its croot attribute.

import conda_build.api as api 

api.Config().croot

Ah, thanks, that's nicer.

I still have the problem that this is not available in non-root environments, though; "conda build" works, because the root's bin/ directory is still in the $PATH after I activate. This seems inconsistent to me? If I can "conda build", shouldn't there be a way to get the build root?
