Nix-Python

Because Nix is all you need.

Overview

Nix-Python is a setup that allows you to manage Python environments and dependencies using Nix. It ensures that you have a consistent development environment with a specific Python version. It handles both FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard) and non-FHS compliant systems, providing flexibility across different environments.

Usage

Development Shell

Run the following command to launch a shell with a pinned Python version (currently set to 3.1, modify if needed):

nix develop

• If a virtual environment does not exist, it will be created.
• Dependencies specified in requirements.txt or pyproject.toml will be installed using the local UV cache if it exists.

Build Docker Image

Run the following command to create a Docker image:

nix build
