I suspect this has to do with the error message Mark shared on #guix: ImportError: /gnu/store/f0jzhl04iyaqv56yj92cd9bk57p3inqx-python-2.7.10/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_ssl.so: undefined symbol: SSLv2_method [,,,] > I'm not really sure this is a problem with the new grafts system.

Yeah, I'm not surprised other packages are breaking as a result of this. Can you give me a method to reproduce this bug? I can try building Python against the new OpenSSL directly and see if the problem persists. > > Not sure if we should just wait for the world-rebuild or what right > now...! I guess that grafts of compatible updates can persist for a while but in cases like this we should probably start rebuilding...
