method is to use `nix-shell`, either with or without the `python.buildEnv`
function.
### How to consume python modules using pip in a virtualenv like I am used to on other Operating Systems ?
This is an example of a `default.nix` for a `nix-shell`, which allows to consume a `virtualenv` environment,
and install python modules through `pip` the traditional way.
Create this `default.nix` file, together with a `requirements.txt` and simply execute `nix-shell`.
```
th import <nixpkgs> {};
with pkgs.python27Packages;
buildPythonPackage {
name = "impurePythonEnv";
buildInputs = [
taglib
openssl
git
libxml2
libxslt
libzip
python27Full
python27Packages.virtualenv
python27Packages.pip
stdenv
zlib ];
src = null;
# When used as `nix-shell --pure`
shellHook = ''
unset http_proxy
export GIT_SSL_CAINFO=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
virtualenv --no-wheel --no-setuptools venv
export PATH=$PWD/venv/bin:$PATH
pip install -r requirements.txt --no-use-wheel
'';
}
```
