Private Python package documentation is wrong

Describe the issue
The documentation regarding "Using private Python package repositories with authentication" has some mistakes and does not lead to a working setup after fixing the obvious one.
Additional context
I am trying to build a flake from a poetry package that needs a few private packages which are hosted on a gitlab server that requires authentication. After following the steps in the documentation, gitlab still returns error 401 Unauthorized.
The netrc file is extra-sandbox-paths is used by nix, as I get a "file not found" if I miss-spell it.
I noticed, that the env-vars file in my sandbox states declare -x NETRC="".
Does anyone have an idea how to use poetry2nix with private repositories?
my changes
nix.conf
extra-sandbox-paths /etc/nix/netrc
trusted-users <username>
should be
extra-sandbox-paths = /etc/nix/netrc
trusted-users = <username>
otherwise nix daemon crashes with a "illegal configuration line" error
netrc
on this one I am less certain but I think:
machine https://example.org
should be
machine example.org
Could you create a first PR on the documentation fixes. Both your points are valid.
If you haven't done so, you still have to pass in the path to the netrc file via the nix-build command and you could try passing the extra-sandbox-path again explictly:
nix-build -I NETRC=/etc/nix/netrc --option extra-sandbox-paths /etc/nix/netrc ...
