I feel like I'm probably missing something obvious, but I'm curious about what the easiest way to support a dependency that is not in nixpkgs or pypi is. Should I just use the built in nixpkgs tooling to define a nix build for that package and then add an override

Hi all,

I'm trying to build scikit-learn 1.5.0, and their changelog says they've switched to meson: https://scikit-learn.org/stable/whats_new/v1.5.html#version-1-5-0. When I add meson-python to nativeBuildInputs, metadata generation fails when running this file: https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/5491dc695dbe2c9bec3452be5f3c409706ff7ee7/sklearn/_build_utils/version.py

This seems like an opportunity to learn more about poetry2nix and submit a PR. Are there any good resources people can recommend on translating a meson build to a poetry2nix override?

Thanks!

I'm trying to patch the cython version used by a package:

peewee = super.peewee.overridePythonAttrs (old: let
            old_buildInputs = old.buildInputs or [];
            old_cython_filter = input: (builtins.substring 0 7 input.name) != "cython-";
          in {
            buildInputs =
              (builtins.filter old_cython_filter old_buildInputs);
              ++ [super.cython_0];
          });

But all I get is " error: value is a list while a set was expected" ...

Can anybody spot what I'm doing wrong?
