Have you seen this branch:

  https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/nixpkgs/branches/modular-python/

It gets rid of the distinction between pythonBase and pythonFull entirely.  It
has a Python package with few dependencies, while those Python modules that
require external dependencies (sqlite, tcl/tk, etc.) are moved into separate
packages.

I didn't do that for Python 3 yet though.
