Tensorflow in Haskell

Help
1

I set up my haskell project with cabal2nix following this guide (https://github.com/Gabriel439/haskell-nix/blob/master/project1/README.md).
My cabal file looks like this

cabal-version:       >=1.10
-- Initial package description 'tensorFlowCabal.cabal' generated by 'cabal
-- init'.  For further documentation, see
-- http://haskell.org/cabal/users-guide/

name:                tensorFlowCabal
version:             0.1.0.0

executable tensorFlowCabal
  main-is:             Main.hs
  -- other-modules:
  -- other-extensions:
  build-depends:       base >=4.12 && <4.13,
		       tensorflow
  -- hs-source-dirs:
  default-language:    Haskell2010

my release.nix looks like this

let 
config = {
  allowBroken = true;
  packageOverrides = pkgs: rec {
      haskellPackages = pkgs.haskellPackages.override {
        overrides = haskellPackagesNew: haskellPackagesOld: rec {
          project =
            haskellPackagesNew.callPackage ./tensorFlowCabal.nix { };
        };
      };
    };
  };
  pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { inherit config; };

in 
  {  tensorFlowCabal = pkgs.haskellPackages.project;
  }

when I try to run nix-build i just get the error:

error: tensorflow-1.15.2 not supported for interpreter python2.7
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)

I don’t really understand it because in my global nix config is python 3.7.6 defined. Most likely did I do a horrible mistake, I am new to nix. I would like to use tensorflow in haskell, but I can’t get it working. Any help is appreciated.

Your “global” python is not relevant. Each project uses what is defined within the project.

Perhaps show your tensorflow.nix.

somehow pythonPackages.tensorflow is being referenced. And it indeed, does not support python2

i previously had pythonPackages.tensorflow installed (but removed yesterday sometimes).
My tensorflowCabal.nix file looks like this

{ mkDerivation, base, stdenv, tensorflow }:
mkDerivation {
  pname = "tensorFlowCabal";
  version = "0.1.0.0";
  src = ./.;
  isLibrary = false;
  isExecutable = true;
  executableHaskellDepends = [ base tensorflow ];
  license = "unknown";
  hydraPlatforms = stdenv.lib.platforms.none;
}

I also Tried pinning the tensorflow package with cabal2nix cabal://tensorflow-0.2.0.1 > tensorflow.nix and added the package in the release file, but it still throws the Error:

error: tensorflow-1.15.2 not supported for interpreter python2.7
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)

I can feel that i make a terrible mistake but i don’t see it…

I’m assuming the tensorflow here:

{ mkDerivation, base, stdenv, tensorflow }:

is referencing python2Packages.tensorflow

how is that being called?

you could try doing

  myPackage = callPackage ./my-package { tensorflow = python3Packages.tensorflow; };
