Thank you. I tried prefetching it, but it makes no difference. The result of
prefetching goes in different store location to the one it is looking for.
Perhaps the package has the wrong hash for python-novaclient-2012.1.tar.gz ?

It does look like the hash is different. That strange, but upstream sometimes change tarballs without changing the version, unfortunately (it's really ugly and relatively insecure).

What is the process for updating the package ?

Often it's enough to change just the version and hash in the expression. Here it seems that dependencies have changed as well, it reports missing stuff if I do

-  name = "novaclient-2012.1";
+  name = "novaclient-2.14.1";
   namePrefix = "";

   src = fetchurl {
url = "http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/python-novaclient/python-${name}.tar.gz";;
-    md5 = "8f53a308e08b2af4645281917be77ffc";
+    sha256 = "0cicdr3qlhz2wnhi89kmp709if363yz4bdvsjsr9507c7mw29v0v";
   };

I know very little about python and nothing about nova at all (or how we package pypi stuff with nix), so I would rather leave this package to others (than me).
