python package managers: which works on Guix

python package managers: which works on Guix

[Andy Tai]

Hi, a general question: Python-native package managers like conda and
poetry both do not work (or build) on Guix now (I mean the packaged
versions of these in Guix).  Curious if any Python package manager
works on top of Guix at this time?  Thanks.

Guix itself is a pretty reasonable package manager for python too.

I've been using Pipenv, but pipenv shell has issues.

I decided to use Guix for it directly like: guix shell -m python-wrapper python-requests python-...

Or even making a proper manifest.scm or a guix package.

It's the best, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to make the python package managers work.

Hope this helps,
Ekaitz

Pip does work. And if you apply my patches from [1] and build Guix from
source using these, then pipx is also available and works ;)

Also, I'd recommend against using conda — its client application is
libre software but its repository server and the packaging of software
there is proprietary (or at least used to be when I last read about it)

Best,
Wojtek
