All Python packages, please keep in mind: *The default for including other Python packages is "propagated-inputs".* guix import is wrong here, as it defaults to "inputs". Please refer to the section "Specifying Dependencies" in info doc/guix "Python Modules". Thanks! Note: Currently specifying dependencies as "input" works by mere luck and all these packages will fail with the new python build system. (And I'm having a hard time cleaning up all these wrong inputs :-(( -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goebel@crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |
