[Nix-dev] Wheel-based python packaging - Re: Sprint topics

[Florian Friesdorf]

Wheel-based python packaging

Key features:

- python wheels are not meant to be installed into profiles

- instead python.site is used to create sites meant to be installed into
  profiles. Scripts/entry-points, i.e. stuff in bin/, can be created
  selectively

- python.tool is used to create only scripts to be installed into a
  profile without potentially colliding libraries

For more info see
https://github.com/chaoflow/nixpkgs/tree/python/pkgs/development/python-wheels

Missing:

- per package testing

- generation of test/runtime/extra requirements from wheels metadata

- discussion of the overall approach
