This is very cool!

It would indeed be nice to turn it into a =E2=80=98guix pipy=E2=80=99 comma=
nd or
something like that.  If need be, I can help with the details of
integrating it.

It could use (guix build download), which uses (web client) + (gnutls).

Also, the thing could have two back-ends: one that generates code (what
it already does), and one that produces a <package> object.  That way,
we could have commands like:

  guix pipy build https://pipy...

Thanks,
