@FRidh, thanks for your PR! By analyzing the history of the files in this pull request, we identified @alexeymuranov, @bennofs, @Azulinho and @FRidh to be potential reviewers. |

This is a follow-up of #24155. |
This allows one to always override the call to `buildPythonPackage`.
In the following example we create an environment where we have the `blaze` package using an older version of `pandas`. We override first the Python interpreter and pass `packageOverrides` which contains the overrides for packages in
the package set.
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};
(let
python = let
packageOverrides = self: super: {
pandas = super.pandas.overridePythonPackage(old: rec {
version = "0.19.1";
name = "pandas-${version}";
src = super.fetchPypi {
pname = "pandas";
inherit version;
sha256 = "08blshqj9zj1wyjhhw3kl2vas75vhhicvv72flvf1z3jvapgw295";
};
});
};
in pkgs.python35.override {inherit packageOverrides;};
in python.withPackages(ps: [ps.blaze])).env
```

I've pushed 345b35c to master. |
|
@FRidh sorry that I didn't comment earlier, but wouldn't it be better to name this function |
|
@bennofs I thought it would be good not to shadow any of the current names. |
|
@FRidh right, didn't think of the shadowing when I wrote that comment. But perhaps then, |
to better fit the existing naming scheme. #26155 (comment)
