-      By default Rebar3 wants to manage it's own dependencies. In the

-      is not. To support this we have created two versions of rebar3,
-      <literal>rebar3</literal> and <literal>rebar3-open</literal>. The
-      <literal>rebar3</literal> version has been patched to remove the
-      ability to download anything from it. If you are not running it a
-      nix-shell or a nix-build then its probably not going to work for
-      you. <literal>rebar3-open</literal> is the normal, un-modified
-      rebar3. It should work exactly as would any other version of
-      rebar3. Any Erlang package should rely on
-      <literal>rebar3</literal> and thats really what you should be

 Packages, including the Nix packages collection, are distributed through

 distributed for users of Nix on non-NixOS distributions through the channel
 `nixpkgs`. Users of NixOS generally use one of the `nixos-*` channels, e.g.
-`nixos-16.03`, which includes all packages and modules for the stable NixOS

-# Python
-
-## User Guide
-
-Several versions of Python are available on Nix as well as a high amount of
-packages. The default interpreter is CPython 2.7.
-
-### Using Python
-
-#### Installing Python and packages
-
-It is important to make a distinction between Python packages that are
-used as libraries, and applications that are written in Python.
-
-Applications on Nix are installed typically into your user
-profile imperatively using `nix-env -i`, and on NixOS declaratively by adding the
-package name to `environment.systemPackages` in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`.
-Dependencies such as libraries are automatically installed and should not be
-installed explicitly.
-
-The same goes for Python applications and libraries. Python applications can be
-installed in your profile, but Python libraries you would like to use to develop
-cannot. If you do install libraries in your profile, then you will end up with
-import errors.
-
-#### Python environments using `nix-shell`
-
-The recommended method for creating Python environments for development is with
-`nix-shell`. Executing
-
-```sh
-$ nix-shell -p python35Packages.numpy python35Packages.toolz
-```
-
-opens a Nix shell which has available the requested packages and dependencies.
-Now you can launch the Python interpreter (which is itself a dependency)
-
-```sh
-[nix-shell:~] python3
-```
-
-If the packages were not available yet in the Nix store, Nix would download or
-build them automatically. A convenient option with `nix-shell` is the `--run`
-option, with which you can execute a command in the `nix-shell`. Let's say we
-want the above environment and directly run the Python interpreter
-
-```sh
-$ nix-shell -p python35Packages.numpy python35Packages.toolz --run "python3"
-```
-
-This way you can use the `--run` option also to directly run a script
-
-```sh
-$ nix-shell -p python35Packages.numpy python35Packages.toolz --run "python3 myscript.py"
-```
-
-In fact, for this specific use case there is a more convenient method. You can
-add a [shebang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix)) to your script
-specifying which dependencies Nix shell needs. With the following shebang, you
-can use `nix-shell myscript.py` and it will make available all dependencies and
-run the script in the `python3` shell.
-
-```py
-#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
-#! nix-shell -i python3 -p python3Packages.numpy
-
-import numpy
-
-print(numpy.__version__)
-```
-
-Likely you do not want to type your dependencies each and every time. What you
-can do is write a simple Nix expression which sets up an environment for you,
-requiring you only to type `nix-shell`. Say we want to have Python 3.5, `numpy`
-and `toolz`, like before, in an environment. With a `shell.nix` file
-containing
-
-```nix
-with import <nixpkgs> {};
-
-(pkgs.python35.buildEnv.override  {
-  extraLibs = with pkgs.python35Packages; [ numpy toolz ];
-}).env
-```
-executing `nix-shell` gives you again a Nix shell from which you can run Python.
-
-What's happening here?
-
-1. We begin with importing the Nix Packages collections. `import <nixpkgs>` import the `<nixpkgs>` function, `{}` calls it and the `with` statement brings all attributes of `nixpkgs` in the local scope. Therefore we can now use `pkgs`.
-2. Then we create a Python 3.5 environment with `pkgs.buildEnv`. Because we want to use it with a custom set of Python packages, we override it.
-3. The `extraLibs` argument of the original `buildEnv` function can be used to specify which packages should be included. We want `numpy` and `toolz`. Again, we use the `with` statement to bring a set of attributes into the local scope.
-4. And finally, for in interactive use we return the environment.
-
-### Developing with Python
-
-
-Now that you know how to get a working Python environment on Nix, it is time to go forward and start actually developing with Python.
-We will first have a look at how Python packages are packaged on Nix. Then, we will look how you can use development mode with your code.
-
-#### Python packaging on Nix
-
-On Nix all packages are built by functions. The main function in Nix for building Python packages is [`buildPythonPackage`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/python-modules/generic/default.nix).
-Let's see how we would build the `toolz` package. According to [`python-packages.nix`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/master/pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix) `toolz` is build using
-
-```nix
-toolz = buildPythonPackage rec{
-  name = "toolz-${version}";
-  version = "0.7.4";
-
-  src = pkgs.fetchurl{
-    url = "mirror://pypi/t/toolz/toolz-${version}.tar.gz";
-    sha256 = "43c2c9e5e7a16b6c88ba3088a9bfc82f7db8e13378be7c78d6c14a5f8ed05afd";
-  };
-
-  meta = {
-    homepage = "http://github.com/pytoolz/toolz/";
-    description = "List processing tools and functional utilities";
-    license = licenses.bsd3;
-    maintainers = with maintainers; [ fridh ];
-  };
-};
-```
-
-What happens here? The function `buildPythonPackage` is called and as argument
-it accepts a set. In this case the set is a recursive set ([`rec`](http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#sec-constructs)).
-One of the arguments is the name of the package, which consists of a basename
-(generally following the name on PyPi) and a version. Another argument, `src`
-specifies the source, which in this case is fetched from an url. `fetchurl` not
-only downloads the target file, but also validates its hash. Furthermore, we
-specify some (optional) [meta information](http://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#chap-meta).
-
-The output of the function is a derivation, which is an attribute with the name
-`toolz` of the set `pythonPackages`. Actually, sets are created for all interpreter versions,
-so `python27Packages`, `python34Packages`, `python35Packages` and `pypyPackages`.
-
-The above example works when you're directly working on
-`pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix` in the Nixpkgs repository. Often though,
-you will want to test a Nix expression outside of the Nixpkgs tree. If you
-create a `shell.nix` file with the following contents
-
-```nix
-with import <nixpkgs> {};
-
-pkgs.python35Packages.buildPythonPackage rec {
-  name = "toolz-${version}";
-  version = "0.7.4";
-
-  src = pkgs.fetchurl{
-    url = "mirror://pypi/t/toolz/toolz-${version}.tar.gz";
-    sha256 = "43c2c9e5e7a16b6c88ba3088a9bfc82f7db8e13378be7c78d6c14a5f8ed05afd";
-  };
-
-  meta = {
-    homepage = "http://github.com/pytoolz/toolz/";
-    description = "List processing tools and functional utilities";
-    license = licenses.bsd3;
-    maintainers = with maintainers; [ fridh ];
-  };
-}
-```
-
-and then execute `nix-shell` will result in an environment in which you can use
-Python 3.5 and the `toolz` package. As you can see we had to explicitly mention
-for which Python version we want to build a package.
-
-The above example considered only a single package. Generally you will want to use multiple packages.
-If we create a `shell.nix` file with the following contents
-
-```nix
-with import <nixpkgs> {};
-
-( let
-    toolz = pkgs.python35Packages.buildPythonPackage rec {
-      name = "toolz-${version}";
-      version = "0.7.4";
-
-      src = pkgs.fetchurl{
-        url = "mirror://pypi/t/toolz/toolz-${version}.tar.gz";
-        sha256 = "43c2c9e5e7a16b6c88ba3088a9bfc82f7db8e13378be7c78d6c14a5f8ed05afd";
-      };
-
-      meta = {
-        homepage = "http://github.com/pytoolz/toolz/";
-        description = "List processing tools and functional utilities";
-        license = licenses.bsd3;
-        maintainers = with maintainers; [ fridh ];
-      };
-    };
-
-  in pkgs.python35.buildEnv.override rec {
-
-    extraLibs = [ pkgs.python35Packages.numpy toolz ];
-}
-).env
-```
-
-and again execute `nix-shell`, then we get a Python 3.5 environment with our
-locally defined package as well as `numpy` which is build according to the
-definition in Nixpkgs. What did we do here? Well, we took the Nix expression
-that we used earlier to build a Python environment, and said that we wanted to
-include our own version of `toolz`. To introduce our own package in the scope of
-`buildEnv.override` we used a
-[`let`](http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#sec-constructs) expression.
-
-### Handling dependencies
-
-Our example, `toolz`, doesn't have any dependencies on other Python
-packages or system libraries. According to the manual,  `buildPythonPackage`
-uses the arguments `buildInputs` and `propagatedBuildInputs` to specify dependencies. If something is
-exclusively a build-time dependency, then the dependency should be included as a
-`buildInput`, but if it is (also) a runtime dependency, then it should be added
-to `propagatedBuildInputs`. Test dependencies are considered build-time dependencies.
-
-The following example shows which arguments are given to `buildPythonPackage` in
-order to build [`datashape`](https://github.com/blaze/datashape).
-
-```nix
-datashape = buildPythonPackage rec {
-  name = "datashape-${version}";
-  version = "0.4.7";
-
-  src = pkgs.fetchurl {
-    url = "mirror://pypi/D/DataShape/${name}.tar.gz";
-    sha256 = "14b2ef766d4c9652ab813182e866f493475e65e558bed0822e38bf07bba1a278";
-  };
-
-  buildInputs = with self; [ pytest ];
-  propagatedBuildInputs = with self; [ numpy multipledispatch dateutil ];
-
-  meta = {
-    homepage = https://github.com/ContinuumIO/datashape;
-    description = "A data description language";
-    license = licenses.bsd2;
-    maintainers = with maintainers; [ fridh ];
-  };
-};
-```
-
-We can see several runtime dependencies, `numpy`, `multipledispatch`, and
-`dateutil`. Furthermore, we have one `buildInput`, i.e. `pytest`. `pytest` is a
-test runner and is only used during the `checkPhase` and is therefore not added
-to `propagatedBuildInputs`.
-
-In the previous case we had only dependencies on other Python packages to consider.
-Occasionally you have also system libraries to consider. E.g., `lxml` provides
-Python bindings to `libxml2` and `libxslt`. These libraries are only required
-when building the bindings and are therefore added as `buildInputs`.
-
-```nix
-lxml = buildPythonPackage rec {
-  name = "lxml-3.4.4";
-
-  src = pkgs.fetchurl {
-    url = "mirror://pypi/l/lxml/${name}.tar.gz";
-    sha256 = "16a0fa97hym9ysdk3rmqz32xdjqmy4w34ld3rm3jf5viqjx65lxk";
-  };
-
-  buildInputs = with self; [ pkgs.libxml2 pkgs.libxslt ];
-
-  meta = {
-    description = "Pythonic binding for the libxml2 and libxslt libraries";
-    homepage = http://lxml.de;
-    license = licenses.bsd3;
-    maintainers = with maintainers; [ sjourdois ];
-  };
-};
-```
-
-In this example `lxml` and Nix are able to work out exactly where the relevant
-files of the dependencies are. This is not always the case.
-
-The example below shows bindings to The Fastest Fourier Transform in the West, commonly known as
-FFTW. On Nix we have separate packages of FFTW for the different types of floats
-(`"single"`, `"double"`, `"long-double"`). The bindings need all three types,
-and therefore we add all three as `buildInputs`. The bindings don't expect to
-find each of them in a different folder, and therefore we have to set `LDFLAGS`
-and `CFLAGS`.
-
-```nix
-pyfftw = buildPythonPackage rec {
-  name = "pyfftw-${version}";
-  version = "0.9.2";
-
-  src = pkgs.fetchurl {
-    url = "mirror://pypi/p/pyFFTW/pyFFTW-${version}.tar.gz";
-    sha256 = "f6bbb6afa93085409ab24885a1a3cdb8909f095a142f4d49e346f2bd1b789074";
-  };
-
-  buildInputs = [ pkgs.fftw pkgs.fftwFloat pkgs.fftwLongDouble];
-
-  propagatedBuildInputs = with self; [ numpy scipy ];
-
-  # Tests cannot import pyfftw. pyfftw works fine though.
-  doCheck = false;
-
-  LDFLAGS="-L${pkgs.fftw}/lib -L${pkgs.fftwFloat}/lib -L${pkgs.fftwLongDouble}/lib"
-  CFLAGS="-I${pkgs.fftw}/include -I${pkgs.fftwFloat}/include -I${pkgs.fftwLongDouble}/include"
-  '';
-
-  meta = {
-    description = "A pythonic wrapper around FFTW, the FFT library, presenting a unified interface for all the supported transforms";
-    homepage = http://hgomersall.github.com/pyFFTW/;
-    license = with licenses; [ bsd2 bsd3 ];
-    maintainer = with maintainers; [ fridh ];
-  };
-};
-```
-Note also the line `doCheck = false;`, we explicitly disabled running the test-suite.
-
-
-#### Develop local package
-
-As a Python developer you're likely aware of [development mode](http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#development-mode) (`python setup.py develop`);
-instead of installing the package this command creates a special link to the project code.
-That way, you can run updated code without having to reinstall after each and every change you make.
-Development mode is also available on Nix as [explained](http://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#ssec-python-development) in the Nixpkgs manual.
-Let's see how you can use it.
-
-In the previous Nix expression the source was fetched from an url. We can also refer to a local source instead using
-
-```nix
-src = ./path/to/source/tree;
-```
-
-If we create a `shell.nix` file which calls `buildPythonPackage`, and if `src`
-is a local source, and if the local source has a `setup.py`, then development
-mode is activated.
-
-In the following example we create a simple environment that
-has a Python 3.5 version of our package in it, as well as its dependencies and
-other packages we like to have in the environment, all specified with `propagatedBuildInputs`.
-Indeed, we can just add any package we like to have in our environment to `propagatedBuildInputs`.
-
-```nix
-with import <nixpkgs>;
-with pkgs.python35Packages;
-
-buildPythonPackage rec {
-  name = "mypackage";
-  src = ./path/to/package/source;
-  propagatedBuildInputs = [ pytest numpy pkgs.libsndfile ];
-};
-```
-
-It is important to note that due to how development mode is implemented on Nix it is not possible to have multiple packages simultaneously in development mode.
-
-
-### Organising your packages
-
-So far we discussed how you can use Python on Nix, and how you can develop with
-it. We've looked at how you write expressions to package Python packages, and we
-looked at how you can create environments in which specified packages are
-available.
-
-At some point you'll likely have multiple packages which you would
-like to be able to use in different projects. In order to minimise unnecessary
-duplication we now look at how you can maintain yourself a repository with your
-own packages. The important functions here are `import` and `callPackage`.
-
-### Including a derivation using `callPackage`
-
-Earlier we created a Python environment using `buildEnv`, and included the
-`toolz` package via a `let` expression.
-Let's split the package definition from the environment definition.
-
-We first create a function that builds `toolz` in `~/path/to/toolz/release.nix`
-
-```nix
-{ pkgs, buildPythonPackage }:
-
-buildPythonPackage rec {
-  name = "toolz-${version}";
-  version = "0.7.4";
-
-  src = pkgs.fetchurl{
-    url = "mirror://pypi/t/toolz/toolz-${version}.tar.gz";
-    sha256 = "43c2c9e5e7a16b6c88ba3088a9bfc82f7db8e13378be7c78d6c14a5f8ed05afd";
-  };
-
-  meta = {
-    homepage = "http://github.com/pytoolz/toolz/";
-    description = "List processing tools and functional utilities";
-    license = licenses.bsd3;
-    maintainers = with maintainers; [ fridh ];
-  };
-};
-```
-
-It takes two arguments, `pkgs` and `buildPythonPackage`.
-We now call this function using `callPackage` in the definition of our environment
-
-```nix
-with import <nixpkgs> {};
-
-( let
-    toolz = pkgs.callPackage ~/path/to/toolz/release.nix { pkgs=pkgs; buildPythonPackage=pkgs.python35Packages.buildPythonPackage; };
-  in pkgs.python35.buildEnv.override rec {
-    extraLibs = [ pkgs.python35Packages.numpy  toolz ];
-}
-).env
-```
-
-Important to remember is that the Python version for which the package is made
-depends on the `python` derivation that is passed to `buildPythonPackage`. Nix
-tries to automatically pass arguments when possible, which is why generally you
-don't explicitly define which `python` derivation should be used. In the above
-example we use `buildPythonPackage` that is part of the set `python35Packages`,
-and in this case the `python35` interpreter is automatically used.
-
-
-
-## Reference
-
-### Interpreters
-
-Versions 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 of the CPython interpreter are available on
-Nix and are available as `python26`, `python27`, `python33`, `python34` and
-`python35`. The PyPy interpreter is also available as `pypy`. Currently, the
-aliases `python` and `python3` correspond to respectively `python27` and
-`python35`. The Nix expressions for the interpreters can be found in
-`pkgs/development/interpreters/python`.
-
-
-#### Missing modules standard library
-
-The interpreters `python26` and `python27` do not include modules that
-require external dependencies. This is done in order to reduce the closure size.
-The following modules need to be added as `buildInput` explicitly:
-
-* `python.modules.bsddb`
-* `python.modules.curses`
-* `python.modules.curses_panel`
-* `python.modules.crypt`
-* `python.modules.gdbm`
-* `python.modules.sqlite3`
-* `python.modules.tkinter`
-* `python.modules.readline`
-
-For convenience `python27Full` and `python26Full` are provided with all
-modules included.
-
-All packages depending on any Python interpreter get appended
-`out/{python.sitePackages}` to `$PYTHONPATH` if such directory
-exists.
-
-#### Attributes on interpreters packages
-
-Each interpreter has the following attributes:
-
-- `libPrefix`. Name of the folder in `${python}/lib/` for corresponding interpreter.
-- `interpreter`. Alias for `${python}/bin/${executable}`.
-- `buildEnv`. Function to build python interpreter environments with extra packages bundled together. See section *python.buildEnv function* for usage and documentation.
-- `sitePackages`. Alias for `lib/${libPrefix}/site-packages`.
-- `executable`. Name of the interpreter executable, ie `python3.4`.
-
-### Building packages and applications
-
-Python packages (libraries) and applications that use `setuptools` or
-`distutils` are typically built with respectively the `buildPythonPackage` and
-`buildPythonApplication` functions.
-
-All Python packages reside in `pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix` and all
-applications elsewhere. Some packages are also defined in
-`pkgs/development/python-modules`. It is important that these packages are
-called in `pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix` and not elsewhere, to guarantee
-the right version of the package is built.
-
-Based on the packages defined in `pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix` an
-attribute set is created for each available Python interpreter. The available
-sets are
-
-* `pkgs.python26Packages`
-* `pkgs.python27Packages`
-* `pkgs.python33Packages`
-* `pkgs.python34Packages`
-* `pkgs.python35Packages`
-* `pkgs.pypyPackages`
-
-and the aliases
-
-* `pkgs.pythonPackages` pointing to `pkgs.python27Packages`
-* `pkgs.python3Packages` pointing to `pkgs.python35Packages`
-
-#### `buildPythonPackage` function
-
-The `buildPythonPackage` function is implemented in
-`pkgs/development/python-modules/generic/default.nix`
-
-and can be used as:
-
-    twisted = buildPythonPackage {
-      name = "twisted-8.1.0";
-
-      src = pkgs.fetchurl {
-        url = http://tmrc.mit.edu/mirror/twisted/Twisted/8.1/Twisted-8.1.0.tar.bz2;
-        sha256 = "0q25zbr4xzknaghha72mq57kh53qw1bf8csgp63pm9sfi72qhirl";
-      };
-
-      propagatedBuildInputs = [ self.ZopeInterface ];
-
-      meta = {
-        homepage = http://twistedmatrix.com/;
-        description = "Twisted, an event-driven networking engine written in Python";
-        license = stdenv.lib.licenses.mit; };
-      };
-
-The `buildPythonPackage` mainly does four things:
-
-* In the `buildPhase`, it calls `${python.interpreter} setup.py bdist_wheel` to build a wheel binary zipfile.
-* In the `installPhase`, it installs the wheel file using `pip install *.whl`.
-* In the `postFixup` phase, the `wrapPythonPrograms` bash function is called to wrap all programs in the `$out/bin/*` directory to include `$PYTHONPATH` and `$PATH` environment variables.
-* In the `installCheck` phase, `${python.interpreter} setup.py test` is ran.
-
-As in Perl, dependencies on other Python packages can be specified in the
-`buildInputs` and `propagatedBuildInputs` attributes.  If something is
-exclusively a build-time dependency, use `buildInputs`; if it’s (also) a runtime
-dependency, use `propagatedBuildInputs`.
-
-By default tests are run because `doCheck = true`. Test dependencies, like
-e.g. the test runner, should be added to `buildInputs`.
-
-By default `meta.platforms` is set to the same value
-as the interpreter unless overriden otherwise.
-
-##### `buildPythonPackage` parameters
-
-All parameters from `mkDerivation` function are still supported.
-
-* `namePrefix`: Prepended text to `${name}` parameter. Defaults to `"python3.3-"` for Python 3.3, etc. Set it to `""` if you're packaging an application or a command line tool.
-* `disabled`: If `true`, package is not build for particular python interpreter version. Grep around `pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix` for examples.
-* `setupPyBuildFlags`: List of flags passed to `setup.py build_ext` command.
-* `pythonPath`: List of packages to be added into `$PYTHONPATH`. Packages in `pythonPath` are not propagated (contrary to `propagatedBuildInputs`).
-* `preShellHook`: Hook to execute commands before `shellHook`.
-* `postShellHook`: Hook to execute commands after `shellHook`.
-* `makeWrapperArgs`: A list of strings. Arguments to be passed to `makeWrapper`, which wraps generated binaries. By default, the arguments to `makeWrapper` set `PATH` and `PYTHONPATH` environment variables before calling the binary. Additional arguments here can allow a developer to set environment variables which will be available when the binary is run. For example, `makeWrapperArgs = ["--set FOO BAR" "--set BAZ QUX"]`.
-* `installFlags`: A list of strings. Arguments to be passed to `pip install`. To pass options to `python setup.py install`, use `--install-option`. E.g., `installFlags=["--install-option='--cpp_implementation'"].
-* `format`: Format of the source. Options are `setup` for when the source has a `setup.py` and `setuptools` is used to build a wheel, and `wheel` in case the source is already a binary wheel. The default value is `setup`.
-
-#### `buildPythonApplication` function
-
-The `buildPythonApplication` function is practically the same as `buildPythonPackage`.
-The difference is that `buildPythonPackage` by default prefixes the names of the packages with the version of the interpreter.
-Because with an application we're not interested in multiple version the prefix is dropped.
-
-#### python.buildEnv function
-
-Python environments can be created using the low-level `pkgs.buildEnv` function.
-This example shows how to create an environment that has the Pyramid Web Framework.
-Saving the following as `default.nix`
-
-    with import {};
-
-    python.buildEnv.override {
-      extraLibs = [ pkgs.pythonPackages.pyramid ];
-      ignoreCollisions = true;
-    }
-
-and running `nix-build` will create
-
-    /nix/store/cf1xhjwzmdki7fasgr4kz6di72ykicl5-python-2.7.8-env
-
-with wrapped binaries in `bin/`.
-
-You can also use the `env` attribute to create local environments with needed
-packages installed. This is somewhat comparable to `virtualenv`. For example,
-running `nix-shell` with the following `shell.nix`
-
-    with import {};
-
-    (python3.buildEnv.override {
-      extraLibs = with python3Packages; [ numpy requests ];
-    }).env
-
-will drop you into a shell where Python will have the
-specified packages in its path.
-
-
-##### `python.buildEnv` arguments
-
-* `extraLibs`: List of packages installed inside the environment.
-* `postBuild`: Shell command executed after the build of environment.
-* `ignoreCollisions`: Ignore file collisions inside the environment (default is `false`).
-
-### Development mode
-
-Development or editable mode is supported. To develop Python packages
-`buildPythonPackage` has additional logic inside `shellPhase` to run `pip
-install -e . --prefix $TMPDIR/`for the package.
-
-Warning: `shellPhase` is executed only if `setup.py` exists.
-
-Given a `default.nix`:
-
-    with import {};
-
-    buildPythonPackage { name = "myproject";
-
-    buildInputs = with pkgs.pythonPackages; [ pyramid ];
-
-    src = ./.; }
-
-Running `nix-shell` with no arguments should give you
-the environment in which the package would be build with
-`nix-build`.
-
-Shortcut to setup environments with C headers/libraries and python packages:
-
-    $ nix-shell -p pythonPackages.pyramid zlib libjpeg git
-
-Note: There is a boolean value `lib.inNixShell` set to `true` if nix-shell is invoked.
-
-### Tools
-
-Packages inside nixpkgs are written by hand. However many tools exist in
-community to help save time. No tool is preferred at the moment.

-## FAQ
-
-### How to solve circular dependencies?
-
-Consider the packages `A` and `B` that depend on each other. When packaging `B`,
-a solution is to override package `A` not to depend on `B` as an input. The same
-should also be done when packaging `A`.
-
-### How to override a Python package?
-
-Recursively updating a package can be done with `pkgs.overridePackages` as explained in the Nixpkgs manual.
-Python attribute sets are created for each interpreter version. We will therefore override the attribute set for the interpreter version we're interested.
-In the following example we change the name of the package `pandas` to `foo`.
-```
-newpkgs = pkgs.overridePackages(self: super: rec {
-  python35Packages = super.python35Packages.override {
-    self = python35Packages // { pandas = python35Packages.pandas.override{name="foo";};};
-  };
-});
-```
-This can be tested with
-```
-with import <nixpkgs> {};
-
-(let
-
-newpkgs = pkgs.overridePackages(self: super: rec {
-  python35Packages = super.python35Packages.override {
-    self = python35Packages // { pandas = python35Packages.pandas.override{name="foo";};};
-  };
-});
-in newpkgs.python35.buildEnv.override{
-  extraLibs = [newpkgs.python35Packages.blaze ];
-}).env
-```
-A typical use case is to switch to another version of a certain package. For example, in the Nixpkgs repository we have multiple versions of `django` and `scipy`.
-In the following example we use a different version of `scipy`. All packages in `newpkgs` will now use the updated `scipy` version.
-```
-with import <nixpkgs> {};
-
-(let
-
-newpkgs = pkgs.overridePackages(self: super: rec {
-  python35Packages = super.python35Packages.override {
-    self = python35Packages // { scipy = python35Packages.scipy_0_16;};
-  };
-});
-in pkgs.python35.buildEnv.override{
-  extraLibs = [newpkgs.python35Packages.blaze ];
-}).env
-```
-The requested package `blaze` depends upon `pandas` which itself depends on `scipy`.
-
-
-### `install_data` / `data_files` problems
-
-If you get the following error:
-
-    could not create '/nix/store/6l1bvljpy8gazlsw2aw9skwwp4pmvyxw-python-2.7.8/etc':
-    Permission denied
-
-This is a [known bug](https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/130/install_data-doesnt-respect-prefix) in setuptools.
-Setuptools `install_data` does not respect `--prefix`. An example of such package using the feature is `pkgs/tools/X11/xpra/default.nix`.
-As workaround install it as an extra `preInstall` step:
-
-    ${python.interpreter} setup.py install_data --install-dir=$out --root=$out
-    sed -i '/ = data\_files/d' setup.py
-
-
-###  Rationale of non-existent global site-packages
-
-On most operating systems a global `site-packages` is maintained. This however
-becomes problematic if you want to run multiple Python versions or have multiple
-versions of certain libraries for your projects. Generally, you would solve such
-issues by creating virtual environments using `virtualenv`.
-
-On Nix each package has an isolated dependency tree which, in the case of
-Python, guarantees the right versions of the interpreter and libraries or
-packages are available. There is therefore no need to maintain a global `site-packages`.
-
-If you want to create a Python environment for development, then the recommended
-method is to use `nix-shell`, either with or without the `python.buildEnv`
-function.

-## Contributing
-
-### Contributing guidelines
-
-Following rules are desired to be respected:
-
-* Make sure package builds for all python interpreters. Use `disabled` argument to `buildPythonPackage` to set unsupported interpreters.
-* If tests need to be disabled for a package, make sure you leave a comment about reasoning.
-* Packages in `pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix` are sorted quasi-alphabetically to avoid merge conflicts.
-* Python libraries are supposed to be in `python-packages.nix` and packaged with `buildPythonPackage`. Python applications live outside of `python-packages.nix` and are packaged with `buildPythonApplication`.

-
-<section><title>Introduction</title>
-  <para>The Nix language allows a derivation to produce multiple outputs, which is similar to what is utilized by other Linux distribution packaging systems.  The outputs reside in separate nix store paths, so they can be mostly handled independently of each other, including passing to build inputs, garbage collection or binary substitution.  The exception is that building from source always produces all the outputs.</para>
-  <para>The main motivation is to save disk space by reducing runtime closure sizes; consequently also sizes of substituted binaries get reduced.  Splitting can be used to have more granular runtime dependencies, for example the typical reduction is to split away development-only files, as those are typically not needed during runtime.  As a result, closure sizes of many packages can get reduced to a half or even much less.</para>
-  <note><para>The reduction effects could be instead achieved by building the parts in completely separate derivations.  That would often additionally reduce build-time closures, but it tends to be much harder to write such derivations, as build systems typically assume all parts are being built at once.  This compromise approach of single source package producing multiple binary packages is also utilized often by rpm and deb.</para></note>

-    <listitem><para>NixOS provides configuration option <varname>environment.extraOutputsToInstall</varname> that allows adding extra outputs of <varname>environment.systemPackages</varname> atop the default ones.  It's mainly meant for documentation and debug symbols, and it's also modified by specific options.</para>
-      <note><para>At this moment there is no similar configurability for packages installed by <command>nix-env</command>.  You can still use approach from <xref linkend="sec-modify-via-packageOverrides" /> to override <varname>meta.outputsToInstall</varname> attributes, but that's a rather inconvenient way.</para></note>

-<section><title>Using a split package</title>
-  <para>In the Nix language the individual outputs can be reached explicitly as attributes, e.g. <varname>coreutils.info</varname>, but the typical case is just using packages as build inputs.</para>
-  <para>When a multiple-output derivation gets into a build input of another derivation, the first output is added (<varname>.dev</varname> by convention) and also <varname>propagatedBuildOutputs</varname> of that package which by default contain <varname>$outputBin</varname> and <varname>$outputLib</varname>. (See <xref linkend="multiple-output-file-type-groups" />.)</para>

-<section><title>Writing a split derivation</title>
-  <para>Here you find how to write a derivation that produces multiple outputs.</para>
-  <para>In nixpkgs there is a framework supporting multiple-output derivations. It tries to cover most cases by default behavior.  You can find the source separated in &lt;<filename>nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/setup-hooks/multiple-outputs.sh</filename>&gt;; it's relatively well-readable.  The whole machinery is triggered by defining the <varname>outputs</varname> attribute to contain the list of desired output names (strings).</para>
-  <programlisting>outputs = [ "dev" "out" "bin" "doc" ];</programlisting>
-  <para>Often such a single line is enough.  For each output an equally named environment variable is passed to the builder and contains the path in nix store for that output.  By convention, the first output should usually be <varname>dev</varname>; typically you also want to have the main <varname>out</varname> output, as it catches any files that didn't get elsewhere.</para>
-
-  <note><para>There is a special handling of the <varname>debug</varname> output, described at <xref linkend="stdenv-separateDebugInfo" />.</para></note>
-
-  <section xml:id="multiple-output-file-type-groups">
-    <title>File type groups</title>
-    <para>The support code currently recognizes some particular kinds of outputs and either instructs the build system of the package to put files into their desired outputs or it moves the files during the fixup phase.  Each group of file types has an <varname>outputFoo</varname> variable specifying the output name where they should go.  If that variable isn't defined by the derivation writer, it is guessed &ndash; a default output name is defined, falling back to other possibilities if the output isn't defined.</para>
