What does this package have to do with Denmark and detectives?

Looking further, ‘Great Dane’ appears to be some dog breed, and I guess
it's a pun on the package name and Scooby-Doo.  However, I don't think
this is useful for users looking for packages that suit their needs.

Isn't this just ‘guix package --list-installed=^python’?
What hardware resources does it report?  CPU models?  Disk
manufacturers?  The attached peripherals?  Non-physical peripherals
like e.g. bluetooth mice?  The amount of ductape holding the computer
together?  Information about the printer?  ...

ALso, lightweight and easy is rather subjective.  Compares to lscpu,
lspci, ..., (which are simple C tools IIUC) depending on python and
python-scipy doesn't seem lightweight to me.  ‘(guix)Synopses and
Descriptions’ recommends staying factual.

Greetings,
Maxime.
