For some reason the upstream git repo is missing the tag for the latest
release that is available on pypi. However, the soucre tarball is
available for downlaod from pypi, so let's use that one.

Motivation for this change

I wanted to use a simple Python app for Bluetooth control of my IKEA Idasen sit-stand desk on my new NixOS installation. That application uses some Python modules that require C extensions (GLib introspection, dbus,...), and it was painful to install that on NixOS via pip. The only package that was not in NixOS already is this one, so here we go.

Things done

After configuring the app, I can now run it like this: nix-shell -p 'python3.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ gatt-python pyaml ])' --run 'python main.py --sit', which is awesome.

  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
    • sorry, just starting with nix on by default
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
    • n/a I believe
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
    • there are none
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
    • It isn't a binary, instead it's a Python script, but nix-shell -p 'python3.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ gatt-python ])' --run 'gattctl --discover' works
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
    • the dir contents looks sane
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
    • there's none, it's a python library package
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.
  • I'm not adding myself as a maintainer because I don't know how that works.

Please use fetchPypi and do not hardcode the version number.

Also change the commit message to python3Packages.gatt: ini at x.x.x. Replace x.x.x with the version number.
