In Python itself, it would be:

chromeOptions = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chromeOptions.add_experimental_option("prefs", {"download.default_directory": "some/path", "download.directory_upgrade": true})
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="the/path/to/the/driver.exe", chrome_options=chromeOptions)

If I understand correctly how this "Pytest_mozwebqa" thingy works, you could try adding this command line:

--chromeopts='{"prefs":{"download.default_directory":"some/path","download.directory_upgrade":true}}'
