See the [general documentation on fixed-point arguments](#chap-build-helpers-finalAttrs) for more details on the benefits of this pattern.
::: {.note}
Some `buildPythonPackage`/`buildPythonApplication` arguments are passed down indirectly to `stdenv.mkDerivation` via `passthru`.
Therefore the final states of these attributes can be accessed via `finalAttrs.passthru.${name}`, and they can be overridden via [`<pkg>.overrideAttrs`](#sec-pkg-overrideAttrs) under the `passthru` attribute.
Such arguments include:
-`disabled`
-`pyproject`
-`format`
-`build-system`
-`dependencies`
-`optional-dependencies`

The [`stdenv.mkDerivation`](#sec-using-stdenv) function accepts various parameters for describing
build inputs (see "Specifying dependencies"). The following are of special
interest for Python packages, either because these are primarily used, or
