Then write a `default.nix` file: After entering the environment with `nix-shell`, you can install new python libraries with dump `pip install`, but nanomsg will be detected as installed. pyenv) to handle different version of the language.

Finally, you may use a version manager (e.g. Here is the same Python 3.8 derivation with grpclib from above but using mach-nix: Internally, mach-nix maintains a dependency graph of all dependencies in the PyPI archive together with their hashes.

Since these are written by hand by nixpkgs maintainers, it isn't uncommon for packages you want to be missing or out of date.

According to the official guidelines for python new package expressions for libraries should be placed in pkgs/development/python-modules//default.nix.

}; To do that, use the Python buildEnv derivation to build a new Python and override its extraLibs attribute with the packages you want: You can check that Python and IPython are built in the same package by looking at the paths of their executables: That hash-like prefix in the path is determined by the derivation inputs thus making the package purely functional.

The with keyword before the propagatedBuildInputs list is just a syntax helper to avoid writing the full “pkgs.python38Packages.” prefix before each entry in the list. # Add pythonPackages without the prefix If Nix used Python instead of its own language, your shell expression would look something like this: Anyways, you can now run nix-shell from the same directory of the shell.nix file to start a shell with Python: If you want to use a different value for pkgs, you can pass it from the command line with the --argstr option: Now that you have a Nix shell with Python, you can start adding packages to it.
