So you can have a script like:
#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
#! nix-shell script.nix -i python
import prettytable
x = prettytable.PrettyTable(["Foo", "Bar"])
for i in range(1, 10): x.add_row([i, i**2])
print x
with a ‘script.nix’ in the same directory:
with import <nixpkgs> {};
runCommand "dummy" { buildInputs = [ python pythonPackages.prettytable ]; } ""
(Of course, in this particular case, using the ‘-p’ flag is more
convenient.)
