Is it nice-to-have or useless? Yeah, it's nice to have (to avoid introducing an environment variable), but not necessary. > > 2.4 running from /gnu/store (directly) > > $(readlink -f ~/.guix-profile/bin/python3) testit > --> Expected outcome: site-packages from /gnu/store > --> What is the expected outcome? What is the expected I think if we use environment variable to specify all the site-packages, it should be the same as running from profile. It maybe different if we resolve site-packages by the executable location... > > 2.5 running from /gnu/store (via link) > > ln -s $(readlink -f ~/.guix-profile/bin/python3) > /tmp/test-guix-pythonA.exe ; > /tmp/test-guix-pythonA.exe testit > --> Expected outcome: site-packages from /gnu/store True when we're not use the environment variable. > > 2.6 Installed in GuixSD > > --> Do we need to test this?

I think it's enough to support both python2 and python3 in the same profile: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-03/msg00238.html Thanks!
