Using Guix 929ddec, it fails as reported previously; using
tensorflow@1.9.0.  Let try with tensorflow@2.13.1.

Well, although I have guix.bordeaux.inria.fr as substitutes, I had to
rebuild tensorflow.  Ouch!

Then I get this:

Would you like to create a default python environment for the reticulate package? (Yes/no/cancel) no

You can install TensorFlow using the install_tensorflow() function.

And I guess that’s not better. :-)

Hum, working with Keras needs more love…
