> If you just use pip & co, nix will be unaware of it and won't care one way or another. It will basically treat your pip-installed stuff like it'd treat your sourcefiles or pdfs.

Also if you run pip as root (to install for all users at once)?




It fails, because NixOS mounts /nix/store (the Nix store, where all managed packages are stored) as read-only (with some trickery used by Nix itself to bypass this for its own builds).

And if you bypass that, `nix-store --verify --check-contents` can detect the issue.


This is very reassuring, thanks.
