I use Guix on a foreign distro---Debian buster (current stable). I want to upgrade Debian to bullseye (current testing), but bullseye does not provide security support for Python 2. I still use Python 2 for OfflineIMAP. There is a Python 3 port of OfflineIMAP, but it was done very recently and I fear it is probably be buggy. So I would like to install Guix Python 2 atop Debian bullseye just for OfflineIMAP. Would that work fine? Does Guix, unlike Debian bullseye, still provide security support for Python 2? For how long?
