Looking at the JSON object at
<https://pypi.org/pypi/jupyterlab-widgets/json>, it specifies
“jupyterlabs-widgets” as ‘info.downloads.name’, which is what the PyPi
importer reads to determine the PyPi URI.

Would it make sense to just make it read the name that the user
specifies in the shell, i.e. ‘./pre-inst-env guix import pypi
PACKAGE-NAME’ (see the patch below)?  Or will this potentially mess up
other PyPi URIs?

Subject: [PATCH] import: pypi: Use package name from the shell to construct
 the URI.

Some packages will list an incorrect package name in the JSON object,
resulting in PyPi URIs that lead to nowhere.

* guix/import/pypi.scm (pypi->guix-package): Use the package name specified in
the shell (guix import pypi PACKAGE-NAME) to construct the PyPi URI.

Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47746>.
