Thank you, Janneke!
An alternative if you'd like to also define some variables (say,
PYTHONPATH to add a couple of sources libraries while working on a
Python project) would be to use `direnv'[0] and `emacs-direnv'.
Christopher Baines detailed the solution in this thread:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2017-05/msg00475.html.
I hope this helps!
Maxim
