library dependencies

[MarcWeber]

Eg matplotlib requires freetype.
Eg whatev requires whahtever.

Why don't we add community supported list of packages so that installing packages just works without having to lookup all the binaries ?

I just want to try out something like:

Which is the hassle free way to get all the requirements installed ?
With debian it's the same..

hey

lately i've been working on such a mechanism. check out https://pypi2nix.readthedocs.io/en/latest/external-dependencies.html if you are interested. currently there is no nice way to handle external library dependencies but it is on its way. since i am currently the only person working on pypi2nix it will take some time to land on master. i would appreciate some help though ;)

feel free to ask questions in this thread. i will try to answer them as well as i can.

cheers
