Wrapped version of Python 3.11 for allowing nix-managed python with IntelliJ/PyCharm

python311

#!/bin/bash
# Use of python311 with dependencies, binaries, and other aspects of the environment with nix under IntelliJ.
# Instruct IntelliJ to use this script by specifying a path to this file as the "system" python interpreter.
# Make sure this file is named `python311` (IntelliJ may otherwise reject it) executable by running `chmod +x ...``.
#
# If a `shell.nix` file is located in the same path as this wrapper script, its contents will be used in addition to
# the dependencies listed below via `-p`.

# This is a fix for Mac OS X when using the Python debugger in IntelliJ, which executes a script that is located
# in a path that has spaces in its name without the addition of quotes. Hypothesis as to why this merely happens
# here and not when using the cpython interpreter: arguments are passed via the `execve` syscall, which are unpacked
# in C by traversing argv, which is an array of strings. When working with `$@` in bash (the equivalent of `ARGV`),
# it is easier to just delegate to system python than to work with `ARGV` as an array, as arrays are finicky in bash.
