That looks a lot like what happens with Scribus
<https://bugs.gnu.org/25035>, for which a solution is being discussed at
<https://bugs.gnu.org/29292>.

Can you try something like:

  guix package -i python@2
  export PATH=3D$HOME/.guix-profile/bin:$PATH
  kodi

?

This should force kodi to run =E2=80=98python=E2=80=99 from Guix rather tha=
n from the
host distro.

HTH,
