AFAIK this should work without python-wrapper.

Do you remember which version of trash-cli worked?  In Guix’ history I
find three versions 0.12.9.14, 0.17.1.1 and 0.17.1.14.

I can reproduce the problem.  Interestingly, the shebang points to
Python3 despite the fact that the packages requests python2:

sys.exit(main())

I don’t know if this is the root cause of the problem, though.  Maybe
someone else who knows the python-build-system better could help.

Best
