Devenv[^1] is tool to create easily composable development environments for nix. Hooking it in to our nix flake gives us the following improvements: - more declarative python environment config - avoid the `patchElf` hack to pull in native dependencies - python packages updates won't undo the effect of `patchElf` - due to a long-standing bug[^2], a patched `devenv` version is needed The `.devenv` directory is pre-created because of a quirk: it needs to be present in the `src` derivation of `shell.nix`, otherwise it is unable to create it due to a permission error.
