doc: fix code highlighting, use valid Nix syntax
Fix code syntax highlighting by specifying language in every code block and adding some context to Nix code blocks to make them valid expressions. Use the same markup style for all code blocks. Reformat some code blocks. fixes #23535

|

It takes a function as an argument that is passed the set of python packages and returns the list
|
||||
of the packages to be included in the environment. Using the `withPackages` function, the previous
|
||||
example for the Pyramid Web Framework environment can be written like this:
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
with import <nixpkgs> {};
|
||||

with import <nixpkgs> {};
|
||||
|
||||
python.withPackages (ps: [ps.pyramid])
|
||||
python.withPackages (ps: [ps.pyramid])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`withPackages` passes the correct package set for the specific interpreter version as an
|
||||
argument to the function. In the above example, `ps` equals `pythonPackages`.
|
||||
But you can also easily switch to using python3:
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
with import <nixpkgs> {};
|
||||
|
||||
with import <nixpkgs> {};
|
||||
|
||||
python3.withPackages (ps: [ps.pyramid])
|
||||
python3.withPackages (ps: [ps.pyramid])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now, `ps` is set to `python3Packages`, matching the version of the interpreter.
|
||||
|
||||
As `python.withPackages` simply uses `python.buildEnv` under the hood, it also supports the `env`
|
||||
attribute. The `shell.nix` file from the previous section can thus be also written like this:
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
with import <nixpkgs> {};

||||

with import <nixpkgs> {};

|
||||
(python33.withPackages (ps: [ps.numpy ps.requests2])).env
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In contrast to `python.buildEnv`, `python.withPackages` does not support the more advanced options
|
||||
such as `ignoreCollisions = true` or `postBuild`. If you need them, you have to use `python.buildEnv`.
