I think our messages crossed each other; I wrote: The other option would have been to add ‘python’ to ‘propagated-inputs’, which would also have taken care of sub-directories other than lib/. As a side-effect, it would also pull in the ‘python3’, ‘pydoc3’, etc. commands, but I think it cannot hurt. So yes, I think we should try this. What about making this change in a branch, letting Hydra build it, and then merge it if nothing broke? We’ll also need the patch from <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2014-10/msg00364.html> in this branch. Do you want to take care of it? :-) TIA, Ludo’.
