Tests create .astropy directory #196
Description
Because #187 makes it straightforward to run tests without any install, it's problematic that the tests create the astropy configuration directory (~/.astropy by default). This is probably fixable with some clever py.test tricks to fool the tests into using a temporary directory as the configuration directory.

I'm probably mistaken, but I thought this issue came up a little while back, and that you had implemented exactly this--using a temp dir for the tests instead of mucking with ~/.astropy.

I can see why you're thinking that - I had to fix some tests that actually save configuration files - the problem here is that the code actually creates the config/cache directories (but not the files in them) - it's actually in the code that goes and looks for the directories.

I see what you're saying now.

Since #283 has been merged, can this be closed?

Yep, forgot to use the magic "closes" phrase in one of the commits...
