Struggling with Python dependencies conflicts and NixOS
Hi! Yes, there is a solution to your problem! I used my popular project mach-nix-template to generate a python-environment.

Python Flake and Direnv
This happened, because you only copied the text from the flake.nix file you found here. You did not copy over the flake.lock file, which stores information about what version of nixpkgs and other dependencies your software uses. This led to an incompatibility. I am sorry, I forgot to mention that the flake.lock file needs to be present as well. I updated the readme accordingly.

Can't use pip to install packages
Hey, I had the same issues as you. Therefore I created the following nix flake: https://github.com/Quoteme/mach-nix-template
-
Development shell with pros-cli available
I started with this template.
- I created a super simple flake.nix template so you can finally use python painlessly in your nix projects. Just copy a few lines over into your flake.nix and you can use all of PyPi :)

How do multiple versions of the package internally work?
BTW: I personally use direnv with nix-direnv. This basically works by setting your shell with proper tooling when you enter the directory.
-
I have a few beginner question, what is the difference between nix shell/env and what is the difference between flakes/home-manager?
I'm not sure what you mean by nix env, maybe you are referring to nix-direnv?
-
Just a reminder to make sure Garbage Collection is running
Although currently I'm using direnv + nix-direnv. Keep in mind that direnv has builtin nix support which is very basic and doesn't do any caching. So you still needs this add-on to preserve roots.

What do you install with configuration.nix and home manager
I distinguish between system level things and user level things, even though I don't really have different users on my machine. I install the bare minimum number of packages + a lot of different drivers in the configuration.nix, and desktop and editor related things in HM. For development environment, I have environment per project using mkShell and https://github.com/nix-community/nix-direnv, which allows you to switch to the specific environment once you cd into the directory. (Although I do have python installed globally with some commonly used packages such as numpy, so I can just start python and write something when I need to, without creating an environment)

How do YOU use your PKMS?
I further make my software projects so that when I click a link I go into an environment pre-loaded with their dependencies so dropping in/out of projects is always frictionless. I do this with the reproducibility guarantees of nix, along with glue like nix-direnv and envrc-mode to direnv.

Minimal approach for python devel environment with flake
Personally I use nix-direnv. No longer the need to run nix develop or nix-shell. By setting up a .envrc with either use nix or use flake it will automatically install all the packages from default/shell.nix or flake.nix

Nix and envrc
Direnv is installed using the nix-direnv installation instructions under "Via configuration.nix in NixOS". I read some recommendations that envrc.el is a better alternative then direnv.el, and after some testing I have to agree. (envrc-global-mode) is enabled in my config. This works perfectly with a normal emacs instance.
