When I remove setuptools as a native input, the build for python-magic
succeeds, but fails for python2-magic. I guess it's getting pulled in
implicitly in one case, but not the other. Either way, I think it makes
sense to declare the dependency explicitly as a native input.

That makes sense. Thanks for explaining.

It works as a regular input. It seems that it works as a regular input
because the s3cmd program is wrapped using the wrap-program procedure
From guix/build/utils.scm, which the python-build-system uses to set up
the PYTHONPATH appropriately.

Good call. I did this, and I can confirm that it works even when
python2-magic is not installed in my profile.
Thank you for the feedback!
