Actually =E2=80=98guix package=E2=80=99 has failed to tell you about the GU=
ILE_LOAD_PATH
and GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH variables (that=E2=80=99s because Guile is not
explicitly installed, only used indirectly by Guix.)

I guess the following definitions will allow Guile-JSON to be found,
thereby allowing =E2=80=98guix import pypi=E2=80=99 to work:

  export GUILE_LOAD_PATH=3D$HOME/.guix-profile/share/guile/site/2.0
  export GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH=3D$HOME/.guix-profile/share/guile/site/2.0

Can you confirm?

I think we should improve this by changing the =E2=80=98guix=E2=80=99 packa=
ge to have
the =E2=80=98guix=E2=80=99 command wrapped such that GUILE_LOAD_PATH is alw=
ays correctly
set.  I=E2=80=99ll work on that.

Thank you,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
