Without a new ZYPP_CONF:

Besides /etc/zypp/repos.d, the repomanager may also want to download 
metadata, create solv files, etc... You can redirect the repomanager 
to use a different root directory:

        rootdir = zypp.Pathname("/tmp/a")
        repoManagerOptions = zypp.RepoManagerOptions( rootdir )
        mymanager = zypp.RepoManager( repoManagerOptions )
