Failing to resolve www.python.org?

[Supergamer1337]

I'm trying to install python 3.7 by using the following

environment.systemPackages = [
	nixpkgs-python.packages.x86_64-linux."3.6"
];

But I get the following error when I do

error: builder for '/nix/store/087dc65vagvbvn2il54pm881119l1p0q-Python-3.6.15.tar.xz.drv' failed with exit code 1;

Using flakes on nixos. Any ideas?

Can you prove a full flake?

Same here:

I am using it as an overlay.

Edit: add some more context.

It seems to be a sandboxing issue, as doing:

--option sandbox false

makes it succeed.

From a quick look it seems the issue is the fetchurl inside of the mkPython function, but i have not take a proper look.

Edit: add more information
