Example of usage

At first, define ./default.nix with buildout:

with import <nixpkgs> {}; {
  myEnv = stdenv.mkDerivation {
    name = "myEnv";
    buildInputs = [
      pythonPackages.readline
      pythonPackages.buildout
    ];
    shellHook = ''
      export SSL_CERT_FILE=~/.nix-profile/etc/ca-bundle.crt
    '';
  };
}

And example ./buildout.cfg:

[buildout]
extends = https://dist.plone.org/release/4-latest/versions.cfg
parts =
    plone
    zest.releaser
develop = .
versions = versions

[instance]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
eggs = Plone
user = admin:admin

[plone]
recipe = collective.recipe.nix
eggs =
    ${instance:eggs}
    plone.recipe.zope2instance

[zest.releaser]
recipe = collective.recipe.nix
eggs = zest.releaser

[versions]
zc.buildout =
setuptools =

Run the buildout:

$ nix-shell --run buildout

Now you should be able to run zest.releaser with:

$ nix-shell zest.releaser.nix --run fullrelease

And launching python with all Plone dependencies (after removing buildout created site.py to remove references from buildout installed eggs) with:

$ rm -f parts/instance/site.py parts/instance/site.pyc
$ nix-shell plone.nix --run python

And Plone could be started by entering the following lines into the interpreter:

import plone.recipe.zope2instance.ctl
plone.recipe.zope2instance.ctl.main(['-C', 'parts/instance/etc/zope.conf', 'fg'])
