actually, applications that depend on other Python libraries don't work well, because they'll generally fail to load their dependencies. The two examples you mentioned are exceptions, not the rule. > Within Nix builds Python’s setup hook along with ‘buildPythonPackage’ do the > right thing, too. Yes, *building* Python code works fine. It's mostly running it that doesn't work. The reason is that there is no general solution to the problem of setting up PYTHONPATH.
