I usually put it in buildInputs not propagatedBuildInputs

             pkgs.openldap
             pkgs.cyrus_sasl
             # Fix for "cannot find -lldap_r: No such file or directory"
             (pkgs.writeTextFile {
               name = "openldap-lib-fix";
               destination = "/lib/libldap_r.so";
               text = "INPUT ( libldap.so )\n";
             })

Should no longer be necessary if you poetry2nix is up to date

I'm running into a problem that I cannot figure out, if someone has a clue, I would very much appreciate some feedback.

I am getting an error when I use nix to run or build my python poetry project if the entry point module is not named main.

Here is the error:

~/mypackage$ nix run
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/nix/store/g0fsa09mpa90apcy2i02vljgd5rxxj42-python3.12-mypackage-0.5.0/bin/.mypackage-wrapped", line 6, in <module>
    from mypackage.cli import app
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mypackage.cli'

Here is the structure of my project:

                ];
              };
          });

    };

}

If I simply rename the cli.py module to main.py, and change the pyproject.toml to reflect the new name, everything works, and there is no error when running the executable produced by nix build, or running with nix run.

The structure of my project tree when it works is simply

├── pyproject.toml

Here is the [tool.poetry.scripts] section of my pyproject.toml with the associated change

[tool.poetry.scripts]
mypackage = "mypackage.main:app"

Does anyone know why I am getting the error when I try to name the module something other than main.py, how can I get everything working when I name the module cli.py?

Hey folks, anyone know offhand how to fix this? I'm building pyqtwebengine with poetry2nix and its missing some kind of (propagated) dep or something, but idk enough about qt/sip;
