Hello all,
sorry to trigger this thread up again, but I think that the discussion
was worth a continuation. I'll try to summarize what I understand:
- Peter wants nice expressions for python, to work like most nix c
packages do: a derivation for each lib, a derivation for the
interpreter, and the

Hi Marc,
did you read my last posting? I would love to know what you think about
the dependency handling approach I described in January [1]; here is the

Hi Marc,
