buildPython*: bring back buildPython*.override

ShamrockLee · ShamrockLee · commit cce0f3f30068 · 2025-10-23T03:08:33.000+08:00
Fix `makeOverridablePythonPackage` in python-package-base.nix
and unshadow `buildPython*.override`.

This makes it possible to override the dependencies of buildPython*.
E.g., `buildPythonPackage.override { unzip = unzip-custom; }`
returns a derived version of `buildPythonPackage` with
the `unzip` package overridden with `unzip-custom`.
