build.util.mkApplication

Build applications without venv cruft.

Virtual environments contains many files that are not relevant when distributing applications. This includes, but is not limited to

• Python interpreter
• Activation scripts
• pyvenv.cfg

This helper creates a new derivation, only symlinking venv files relevant for the application.

Example

util.mkApplication {
  venv = pythonSet.mkVirtualEnv "mkApplication-check-venv" {
    pip = [ ];
  }
  package = pythonSet.pip;
}
=>
«derivation /nix/store/i60rydd6sagcgrsz9cx0la30djzpa8k9-pip-24.0.drv»

Type

mkApplication :: AttrSet -> derivation

Arguments

venv : Virtualenv derivation created using mkVirtualEnv

package : Python set package
