Description
nix-bootstrap has previously supported Python through the use of mach-nix.
mach-nix has since become unmaintained and broken, and thus nix-bootstrap's support is now broken.
We would welcome users with Python experience with Nix contributing some new infrastructure which does not rely on mach-nix. In the meantime, Python support will be removed from nix-bootstrap.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating nix-bootstrap's existing mach-nix and Python integration, then review the current Nix infrastructure and its maintenance constraints. Done means removing the broken dependency or replacing it with agreed, working Python support, but the issue does not define the replacement design.
