Hello,

I am asking if this behaviour is expected or if I miss something.


The command:

 guix package -i python

installs the python3 version and there is no python in .guix-profile/bin/.

And in another profile `guix package -i python@2' installs the python2
and there is python in profile/bin/.


To me, it is counter-intuitive. What is the reason ?
And there is not any, since python 2 is dying, I suggest that python
points to python3 and not python2.


Thank you.

All the best,
simon
