#### Handling dependencies {#handling-dependencies}
-Our example, `toolz`, does not have any dependencies on other Python packages or
-system libraries. According to the manual, [`buildPythonPackage`](#buildpythonpackage-function) uses the
-arguments [`buildInputs`](#var-stdenv-buildInputs) and [`propagatedBuildInputs`](#var-stdenv-propagatedBuildInputs) to specify dependencies. If
-something is exclusively a build-time dependency, then the dependency should be
-included in [`buildInputs`](#var-stdenv-buildInputs), but if it is (also) a runtime dependency, then it
-should be added to [`propagatedBuildInputs`](#var-stdenv-propagatedBuildInputs). Test dependencies are considered
-build-time dependencies and passed to [`nativeCheckInputs`](#var-stdenv-nativeCheckInputs).
+Our example, `toolz`, does not have any dependencies on other Python packages or system libraries.
+[`buildPythonPackage`](#buildpythonpackage-function) uses the the following arguments in the following circumstances:
+
+- `dependencies` - For Python runtime dependencies.
+- `build-system` - For Python build-time requirements.
+- [`buildInputs`](#var-stdenv-buildInputs) - For non-Python build-time requirements.
+- [`nativeCheckInputs`](#var-stdenv-nativeCheckInputs) - For test dependencies
+
+Dependencies can belong to multiple arguments, for example if something is both a build time requirement & a runtime dependency.

order to build [`datashape`](https://github.com/blaze/datashape).
