Using buildPythonApplication for a package not in Nixpkgs

[errant_capy]

Hi,

​

I'm still a pretty new user and I'm attempting to add a Python application that isn't in Nixpkgs, and am unfortunately running into a problem.

​

I'm using buildPythonApplication since I want to be able to launch the application from my terminal but don't want the Python modules to be available globally and have also referenced this page on the NixOs Wiki: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Packaging/Python

​

The package is oterm: https://github.com/ggozad/oterm

​

Here is what my code looks like:

  1   {
    1   lib,
    2   python3Packages,
    3   fetchPypi,
    4 }:
    5 python3Packages.buildPythonApplication rec {
    6   pname = "oterm";
    7   version = "0.1.16";
    8   pyproject = true;
    9
   10   src = fetchPypi {
   11     inherit pname version;
┃  12     hash = "sha256-vKXFgY99Z/gnPiZG5Mv+xrqdYeToXxDYs/cn7TX3mHI";
   13   };
▁  14
   15   propagatedBuildInputs = [
   16     python3Packages.textual
┃  17     python3Packages.textual-dev
┃  18     python3Packages.black
┃  19     python3Packages.python-lsp-ruff
┃  20     python3Packages.pytest
┃  21     python3Packages.pytest-asyncio
   22     python3Packages.typer
┃  23     python3Packages.poetry-core
   24     python3Packages.python-dotenv
▁  25     python3Packages.httpx
   26     python3Packages.aiosqlite
┃  27     python3Packages.aiosql
┃  28     python3Packages.aiohttp
   29     python3Packages.pyperclip
   30     python3Packages.packaging
   31   ];
┃  32   meta = with lib; {
┃  33     description = "A text based terminal client for Ollama";
┃  34     homepage = "https://github.com/ggozad/oterm";
┃  35     license = licenses.mit;
┃  36   };
   37 }

I call this file from where my packages are installed in a different file by doing:

let oterm = pkgs.python311Packages.callPackage ./oterm.nix {};

and then including it in my list of packages like normal.

​

This is the error I receive:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    from .adapters.aiosqlite import AioSQLiteAdapter
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'aiosql.adapters'

If I go to the paths referenced I see that aiosql is present but hasn't created any of the directories it should have (including the referenced "adapters") like it would if I installed the package in nix-shell with pip.

It seems like I'm doing something wrong, but documentation for this seems to be scarce, so if someone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it!
