There are also:

https://github.com/proger/python2nix

https://github.com/tailhook/reqtxt2nix

But they doesn't handle dependencies either :) I use the latter (which
I'm also author of), because it doesn't execute untrusted code when
generating expressions (which also means it never fails to import
setup.py, which others often do).

The existence of many similar projects is quite unuseful for the
community. But it was easier to write my own generator of nix
expressions than to get others working. But YMMV

Sorry for not being too helpful :)
