By default the lock directory seems to be ~/.local/share/..., but this is problematic in our setup, where our home directory is set to /nonexistent.

Wouldn't it be better to store temporary lock files in a temporary directory aka /tmp (and its equivalents on other OS's)?

Also, I don't expect the lack of a writable directory to fail so hard. You can't even get virtualenv --help to work:

nobody@4b70ed23eebd:/src/apt-browser$ /src/apt-browser/.tox/.tox/bin/python -m virtualenv --help
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/nonexistent/.local/share/virtualenv/py-info/20.0.4/2d7075eda06572014a3dfd447e6915f0dadc794767f53ba9bc4e3ed19eeb098d.lock'

This would make sense 👍 I'll add it as an enhancement request.

 - when using docker, if `user_data_dir()` isn't writable directory,
   `default_data_dir()` use `system temp directory` + `virtualenv`.
   for example, tempdir is `/tmp`, it use `/tmp/virtualenv`
