From private email:

This might be a mistake of ours, but we aren't able to change the data folder for skdata. It doesn't matter whether we set the $SKDATA_ROOT variable in the shell and export it, call the function set_data_home() or hardcode the target directory, the downloaded data files are stored in ~/.skdata/

What I see is

SKDATA_ROOT=".skdata_foo" python -c 'import skdata.data_home; print skdata.data_home.get_data_home()'

prints out .skdata_foo

So it has an effect, but it's slightly wrong. The path should be /path/to/cwd/.skdata_foo.
