In addition to what Luca says, you can also use nix-shell: $ nix-shell -p python pythonPackages.scipy After that you can do this: [nix-shell:~]$ python Python 2.7.8 (default, Jan 01 1970, 00:00:01) [GCC 4.8.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import scipy >>> scipy.__version__ '0.14.0' >>> Best regards, Bjørn Forsman _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
