s/function/procedure/  :-)

Please also mention the changes in ‘guess-requirements’,
‘compute-inputs’, etc.

So do I get it right that pypi now provides packages both in Wheels and
in “traditional” format, but that Wheels provides more info about
dependencies?

IOW: What does this buy us?  :-)

Line a bit long.  s/of/or/

"-" should be aligned with (list-head.

I would be best to turn this transformation into a top-level procedure,
say ‘wheel-url->extracted-directory’.

Eventually I wonder if we should do this in a derivation instead of
hoping for ‘unzip’ & co. to be available there (“eventually”, because
the problem is already present with the ‘requirements.txt’ thingie.)

Could you add a test in tests/pypi.scm?

Thanks!
