Any idea for getting out of this mess? I forgot two details: - I tried building python-2.7.12 using --fallback. This fails because one of the tests (test_pty) fails. - Under another user account, I still have a working guix profile because I hardly ever update it. I'd like to avoid breaking it, and therefore avoid the brute-force approach of re-doing the binary install procedure. Konrad.
