Tramp does not support this (yet). But your use case is not the only
one; Python developers have asked also for Tramp support of virtual
environments.

I have no idea what the best solution will be. Maybe some additional
configuration means for SSH based Tramp methods. Or maybe an additional
"environment hop" for Tramp (interesting idea, btw).

I'm willing to work on that. However, I'm neither a Guix or Python user,
so I need support in order to understand what is needed.

In order to track this, it might help if you could write en Emacs bug.

Best regards, Michael.
