Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Nix is a better Docker image builder than Docker's image builder
Newcomer here. Could anyone tell if std [0] is a good way to bring more sanity into flake design, esp. in avoiding ivory towery custom approaches? Using devenv.sh is another option, but I liked emphasis on having a common mental picture and focus on SLDC that std provides.

Show HN: Flox 1.0 – Open-source dev env as code with Nix
Agreed on the experience, hard to onboard. I looked at devenv.sh as easier way to get going. Implemented all with Nix, less lock-in. Just found std [0] and that quote looks promising too.

Nix: Taming Unix with Functional Programming
There are some sifferent/new tools for adding your own Python packages these days. It's still not truly solved, but one of these new package generation tools might serve your better:
poetry2nix: https://github.com/nix-community/poetry2nix
dream2nix: https://nix-community.github.io/dream2nix/guides/getting-sta...
mach-nix: https://github.com/DavHau/mach-nix
pip2nix: https://github.com/nix-community/pip2nix
pynixify: https://github.com/cript0nauta/pynixify
The tools available to you at the time (pypi2nix and maybe python2nix, if it was a long time ago) have been abandoned in favor of the newer tools, I think chiefly poetry2nix but I'm not sure.
There's still the Nixpkgs buildPythonPackage stuff, I think, if your goal is to upstream a lib into Nixpkgs. But if you just want to build your own Python applications and vendorize the deps (e.g., for work), you might try one of the tools above, which weren't available 3+ years ago. Maybe Nixy Python users and developers can reply with some of their experiences using those tools :)
