This commit introduces the `toPythonApplication` function. Certain Python packages are considered both a library and an application, that is, they expose importable modules, but typically executables that are part of the package are used instead. In this case, the package needs to be added to `python-packages.nix` in order for it to be available as a library. An alias with this function can then be added in `all-packages.nix`, e.g.: ``` ansible = with pythonPackages; toPythonApplication ansible; ```

I think you said something about also removing propagation of build inputs? |
