I was trying to install a library into my backend and I am using nixpacks. Here is the config file:
providers = ["python"]
[phases.setup]
aptPkgs = ["tesseract-ocr", "libgl1"]
[phases.install]
cmds = [
"git config --global url."https://x-access-token:${GH_TOKEN}@github.com/\".insteadOf "https://github.com/\"",
"python -m pip install --system -r requirements.txt"
]
But I keep running into the issue of "no module named pip" during the build.

Nixpacks is deprecated, i recommend to move to Railpack instead, on your service settings, scroll to the Build section and change your Builder to Railpack
For apt packages, you can configure it by adding RAILPACK_BUILD_APT_PACKAGES="tesseract-ocr libgl1" to your service variables
I created a minimal reproduce repo with same config file as you share, i didnt see that error until i change my builder from Railpack (Default) to Nixpacks
