Oh, good point.  Well, OK then.

(In guile.scm we used a different convention: ‘guile-reader/guile-1.8’
vs. ‘guile-reader/guile-2.0’, where ‘/’ reads as ‘over’; the ‘name’
field follows a weird convention.)

BTW, I haven’t check whether this is the case already, but we need
something like

  (define (package-with-explicit-python p python)
    ;; Return a version of P built for PYTHON.
    (package (inherit p) ...))

so we can just write:

  (define python2-pytz
    (package-with-explicit-python python-pytz python-2))
