Hi Ludo, Thank you for the thoughtful response. I've updated the s3cmd description per your suggestions. Please let me know if any additional changes are needed.
I've also attached one more small patch which adds some information that I felt was missing from the Manual regarding the python-build-system. Since it's small and relevant, it seemed efficient to include it here. -- Chris

doc/guix.texi (Build Systems): Clearly distinguish between the package that
provides the Python interpreter for the build and the package that is to be
built. Also, mention why one might want to use a specific Python version.
