See this interesting post on using nix with bazel:

nix is a reproducible package manager. We have been investigating using nix for python packages. There is support for building even some of the harder packages to build with nix. It looks like we could use rules_nix to possibly solve the problem of building external deps.
I think we should investigate if we can possibly leap ahead by leveraging all this existing work.

just to follow up:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/development/python-modules
there are some already supported python modules.
