I don't know if this would be an actual problem in practice. This could be resolved by installing beets libraries to a non-standard location, say "lib/beets-dependencies/site-packages". The 'python-build-system' probably won't expect this, but that could be resolved by adding things from "lib/beets-dependencies/site-packages" to 'GUIX_PYTHONPATH' in a build phase. Greetings, Maxime
