Unable to use pythonPackages.venvShellHook

[sephii]

Describe the bug

Using lorri with pythonPackages.venvShellHook as mentioned in the nixpkgs docs results in an error.

To Reproduce

Create a shell.nix file with the following contents:

{ pkgs ? import (builtins.fetchGit {
    url = "https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs";
    ref = "nixos-21.11";
    rev = "77aa71f66fd05d9e7b7d1c084865d703a8008ab7";
  }) { } }:
let
  pythonPackages = pkgs.python38Packages;
in pkgs.mkShell {
  name = "impurePythonEnv";

  buildInputs = [
    pythonPackages.venvShellHook
    pythonPackages.wheel
  ];

  venvDir = "./.venv";

  postVenvCreation = ''
    unset SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
    pip install -r ./requirements.txt
  '';

  postShellHook = ''
    # allow pip to install wheels
    unset SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
  '';
}

Put something in requirements.txt like django, and then run lorri shell. You’ll get the following error:

       For full logs, run 'nix log /nix/store/3jdfxdmqzrg9f17nv384vyf8r5x3r18a-lorri-keep-env-hack-impurePythonEnv.drv'.

Expected behavior The Python virtual environment is created and activated.
