When you want to install Python only for a specific project you can use a [[Development environment with nix-shell|Development shell]].
If you only need Python you can put the following in your <code>shell.nix</code>:
<syntaxHighlight lang="nix">
# shell.nix
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
let
  my-python-packages = ps: with ps; [
    pandas
    requests
    # other python packages
  ];
  my-python = pkgs.python3.withPackages my-python-packages;
in my-python.env
</syntaxHighlight>
However, if you already have a <code>shell.nix</code> with other packages, you can add python like this:
<syntaxHighlight lang="nix">
# ...
pkgs.mkShell {
  packages = [
    # ...
    (python3.withPackages my-python-packages) # we have defined this in the installation section
  ];
}
</syntaxHighlight>
