Hi Mateus!

Indeed, when using virtualenv's numpy, this

    python3 -c 'import numpy'

fails with the error you posted. I seem to have been able to make numpy
happy by instead running Python like

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/gnu/store/8qv5kb2fgm4c3bf70zcg9l6hkf3qzpw9-zlib-1.2.11/lib/ python3 -c 'import numpy'

If you use the `--container` and `--emulate-fhs` options to
`guix shell`, it is also possible to instead do

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/ python3 -c 'import numpy'

The `libz` guix package still needs to be included among the packages
passed to `guix shell` in this last case.

Also, given you're using virtualenv, you might find the `--network`
option to `guix shell` useful :)

I hope there isn't any dumb mistake in my solution... Good luck :)

Wojtek
