hi jeff, in nix setuptools is not allowed to download during installation. you need to package Paste and add it to buildInputs/propagatedBuildInputs list. while this sounds like a pain, you only need to do this once and benefits (at least for me) outweights the packaging pain. -- Rok Garbas - http://www.garbas.si _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
