I’m not against a good-old-generic-solution®, but this one might be a bit… too generic. It contains no mention to Python, so the next logical step would be `guix import URL`. Not that I would not like it, though! 😁 So I would say… let’s wait and see what the others think. In the meantime, I’ll have to dive deeper in the PEP and the actual importer code. > Maybe that’s what you had in mind: import straight from upstream rather than > via PyPI? I actually had nothing in mind! I blacked out after sending this email. Too many emotions at once, I guess! I had no clue it was such a mess. 😅 -- Tanguy
