I'd like to get the patch
[bug#29856] [PATCH core-updates] guix: python-build-system: Modify ".py" files in-place.
into this core-updates cycle. What do you all think?
If we don't do it then a lot of Python programs (the ones who use "console_scripts" in setup.py as they should) will not work (because we emit a shell script wrapper and Python tries to import it - that's going to end badly). On the other hand, I don't know the effect on other programs (read: I didn't build the world with it - but I did build quite a few Python programs). You can try it with the guix package ledger-agent and try to invoke "ledger-agent".
The patch only affects files whose names end in ".py" since Python's importer will only find those in any case. So its possible ill effect is limited.
Hartmut, what do you think?
