Permission denied to .cache_status.yaml

I installed PyReason with pip on my system as root and when I try to import the module I am getting the following error:

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pyreason/.cache_status.yaml'

I believe this is due to Numba cache path being set to the path based on the package path in:

pyreason/pyreason/__init__.py

Line 6 in 29ebb0b

os.environ['NUMBA_CACHE_DIR'] = cache_path

I think that users should be allowed to override NUMBA_CACHE_DIR, so perhaps in __init__.py the environment var could be set to the package path only if not set already.

Hi @mac133k, is there a particular reason why you would need to install pyreason as root?

We can look to incorporate this, but I just wanted to make sure it's necessary to install as root.

On hosts meant to be shared between multiple users it makes sense to install packages under /usr, so they are available to everyone from the standard location rather than having every user maintaining own package collection in their home dirs.
