Unlclear how to feed an overlay something that can modiy a Python library #918

Closed mcdonc closed 2 months ago

Often it's necessary to write an overlay that modifies some Python library (let's say, for example, Sphinx, which tends to fail to build for weird test-related reasons). It's not clear how to do this when you use a Python from nixpkgs-python.
