List of steps to reproduce (step by step, including full links if applicable):

Change into a directory the current user does not have permission to create directories
Run Site().login()

Software version (if not a Wikimedia wiki), browser information, screenshots, other information, etc:

	Subject	Repo	Branch	Lines +/-
	[bugfix] Only ignore FileExistsError when creating the api cache	pywikibot/core	master	+6 -5

Mentioned Here: T295115: "Video2commons is getting an error: An exception occurred: FileNotFoundError: b'[Errno 2] No such file or directory'"

I think you have to set a PYWIKIBOT_DIR environment variable then.
