Maybe for testing this change, you could create one Python interpreter
variant containing the patch.  Then using ’package-with-explicit-python’
package transformation from (guix build-system python) we could build
Python packages and check if it correctly fixes and also incrementally
check if nothing break.  It would avoid a full world rebuild.
