Hi, What are you trying to achieve? You want to package panda3d?
The `buildPythonPackage` function builds by default setuptools/distutils Python packages. When passed `format="flit"` it builds from Flit source, and when passed `format="wheel'` it takes the wheel and installs it. The fourth option is, as you mentioned, `format="other"`. In this case, it uses the `buildPhase` and `installPhase` from `stdenv.mkDerivation` and is therefore useful for when a Makefile is provided and the package has scripts that need to be wrapped or provides Python modules. An example of `format="other"` is how we provide the `tkinter` module from the standard library. You don't have to copy the code of the `buildPythonPackage` function, just call it and pass in the arguments.
