Build Pythonic development environments in nix
Submitted Nov 6, 2016
Technical level:
Intermediate
Our aim of this session is the Introduction of rqtxt2nix, which is a small utility which converts requirements.txt file into .nix file that contains myEnvFun declaration, which helps to build pythonic development environments in nix.
Outline
Build nix expressions from pythonic requirements.txt
Key Features:
- Generates nice short and clean dev environment expression
- Makes specific versions of python libraries from requirements.txt
- Writes url/hash code boiler plate
- Doesn’t execute untrusted code (i.e., setup.py)
- Very short and simple script
Apart from the above feature, our session outlines are:
- Dependency Tracking
Note: The rqtxt2nix does absolutely nothing to track dependencies, The main idea is that it’s easy to add buildInputs. - Customization
- a) Python Version
- b) Customizing the environment
- c) Altering packages
- Updating environments
Requirements
Since this would be a development workshop on Python, so participants should come with their own laptop given that they should know the Python programming language. Development should be from scratch and can be shown, still without any problem related to a varying number of participants.
