[ESS] Using ESS with nix

[Dominic Steinitz]

I have searched the manual but to no avail.

Do I need `(require 'ess-site)`? I thought the package manager installed everything required? I have

>  '(python-shell-interpreter "/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/nix-shell")
>  '(python-shell-interpreter-args
>    "-p \"callPackage /Users/dom/Dropbox/Tidy/mrp/dl.nix {}\" -I nixpkgs=/Users/dom/nixpkgs --run python")
>  '(python-shell-process-environment
>    (quote

So python works as I want it to. I just need to know the equivalent variable for ESS.
