The host system is Guix, so this is complicated... But I realise that there is also a guix-0.16.0 lying around, and with this I get beyond the python point. Before closing the bug, I would still like to ask whether there is a way of getting around the need for python. And why "guix pull -n" builds such a large number of packages, while one would expect it to just print a number of packages to be built. But maybe this is also solved in a later version already.
