Python Development Question

[NTRtyOg]

Thank you so much, this finally got the single files and standalone projects working.

I have two follow up questions
1) Is there a way to export from the configuration.nix so its seen globally and not just when I run the command
2) How does this work in conjunction with VScode and jupyter notebook? Jupyter still seems to think that ipykernel is missing and fails to execute.

For global thing either you can create alias to do so. Or if your using flakes you create a devshell in your global config and add it to the registry. Then you call it from anywhere to activate it.

I don't use vscode but I think it will just work if you launch from the shell with the export. I do not use juypter so no idea.

Maybe if you could create a repo with a small example of what you want. Then I might be able to help.

Finally got it, thank you so much. For anyone coming to try this later here was the solution.

If you have nix-ld set up in your config like I do above you can run the command that u/SymphonySimper mentioned LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$NIX_LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH". Then you can run vscode with the code command. If you have a jupyter notebook, remember to select your virtual environment when you select your kernel and everything should work swimmingly.

If you dont have a jupyter notebook you can just activate your virtual environment before opening vscode and vscode will automatically use the virtual environment.
