Looks like a guix problem.

We need to update this thing!

hy 0.17.0 was released in May this year. Is there a reason it is still
0.13.0 (released June 2017) in guix? Support for 3.7 was added in 0.15
according to the notes, so of course it's going to crash.
Note that the notes for 0.17.0 says it will be the last version to support
python2.

I will send a patch after guix builds with the changes.
