Nixpkgs version

• Unstable (25.05)

Steps to reproduce

nix build nixpkgs\#python3Packages.pygame-ce (requires flakes)
OR
nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A python3Packages.pygame-ce

Can't currently reproduce on macOS - timidity transitive dependency is blocked by #380436. However, with #380440, I can reproduce this error.

Can Hydra reproduce this build failure?

ERROR Missing dependencies:

Additional context

This seems to be a result of pythonPackages.meson-python getting bumped to 0.17.1 while pygame-ce is still listing meson-python<=0.16.0 in its pyproject.toml. Adding another replacement to the substituteInPlace pyproject.toml command that strips the version number requirement out seems to work.

Edit: Upstream pygame-ce seems to have bumped the meson-python version number on their end, but it hasn't made it into a stable release yet.
