[Nix-dev] Package a Simple Python Script

Have you tried to use "propagatedBuildInputs" instead of "buildInputs"?

See: https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#sec-python

    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.
