#nix-lang
The `with` function brings all attributes from a given set, e.g nixpkgs, into the local scope. Making them accessible as if they were declared in the same file.
An example, bringing everything from nixpkgs into scope:
```
with import <nixpkgs>;
with python310Packages; <-- declared in nixpkgs
buildPythonPackage <-- declared in python310Packages
```
The import statement is required here because imports a nix expression from another source, in this case nixpkgs.
It is not required at line two, because python310Packages itself is already in the local scope.
