Hello, I think this is a well-known issue according to PEP 668: https://peps.python.org/pep-0668/ The suggested solution is to introduce a `EXTERNALLY-MANAGED` file to disable the useage of `pip install`, and advice `guix shell` or `venv`. Similiar to ArchLinux: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/python/-/commit/547eee4deb54fda2a3892997145b57de37301c5d
