On the other hand, I don't know the effect on other programs (read: I didn't build the world with it - but I did build quite a few Python programs). You can try it with the guix package ledger-agent and try to invoke "ledger-agent".

^^^ Correction: whose names end in ".py" and that end up in "bin" or "sbin". Otherwise it would be common.
