Not really, as the problem with Python is that everything gets
propagated and you can't mix incompatible libraries together. I guess
that's something to keep in mind when reviewing Python packages.  It's
OK to use any version for *applications*, but it's not OK for libraries,
as these are expected to be compatible with the larger Python package
collection of Guix.

I meant painless above.  I disagree that inheritance is generally
painful, although it brings some complications (such as 'guix refresh'
not taking inheritance dependencies into account).

Anyway, LGTM :-).
