Hi Cillian,

I have committed the patch, thanks a lot for your efforts.

Just out of curiosity I wonder, why you put ipython into all-packages.nix
instead of python-packages.nix? It seems to me like some of the problems your
expression has to solve wouldn't exist in that context, i.e. the values of
"python" and "buildPythonPackage" would simply be parameters of your
pythonPackages environment. Isn't that easier?

Take care,
Peter
