I've got a working derivation, but I'm not sure if this is already in a state that is good enough for a PR. In particular, packaging the pyside tools properly didn't seem straightforward to me. AFAICT, it just copies some binaries from other QT parts and wraps them with extra arguments, so that's what I'm doing here. While the python package seems to be working properly, I ran into an issue before when trying to include the headers into a C++ project, and I believe it failed to find some python headers? Maybe that needs some extra buildInput? I haven't investigated more. Locally, I've just been using a version compiled with for that. The binaries, such as , are working by my testing, besides requiring on wayland. I'd be happy to make a PR for this if this is a good-enough state.
