Context

I'm the maintainer of ArchiveBox, but I'm a NixOS n00b so I don't feel qualified to package it for Nix, but I'd be happy to help anyone that wants to.

@pirate I am volunteering to do it. I have made a WIP version and one thing complicates the packaging process a bit – your django version requirement. Will things break if we supply django 3.2 (instead of django <3.2,>=3.1.3)?

I made a WIP PR with django 3.2, but archivebox fails with

ValueError: Primary key 'django.db.models.UUIDField' referred by core.apps.CoreConfig.default_auto_field must subclass AutoField.

Ah yeah unfortunately Django 3.2 is not supported yet, there are a number of incompatibilities besides that one ^. IS it possible to vendor/pin an older version of django? I'm about to do this for the debian package as well.

I only learned about the django failure after it was merged into Nixpkgs 😅. Anyway I fixed it in #133483 and it's working for me now.

How are y'all using the package, given that we don't have a module? I'm not keen on reinventing one.
