Generate Nix expressions for Python packages.
Project description
pip2nix
Generate nix expressions for Python packages.
Why another .nix generator for Python?
I needed something that can work not only with pypi but also with local paths, VCS links, and dependency links. I couldn’t get any of the other generators to work, so I started my own :-)
Installation
$ git clone htts://github.com/ktosiek/pip2nix $ nix-env -f pip2nix/release.nix -iA pip2nix.python34 # Same Python as target packages
Usage
To generate python-packages.nix for a set of requirements:
$ pip2nix -r requirements.txt
pip2nix takes the same set of package specifications pip install does.
At the moment the –help lies - it’s not only showing the pip2nix options, but also pip ones (that are not always relevant). (TODO: #14)
