When I look into the file that defines the Browser class I see it tries to import the "webKit2" package, version 4.0 which is not defined by guix. Then it defines a subclass of WebKit2.WebView which Python says is null. Luckily there is a warning about what it is looking for: ** (journal.py:2637): WARNING **: 07:12:54.144: Failed to load shared library 'libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37' referenced by the typelib: libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ** (journal.py:2637): WARNING **: 07:12:54.144: Failed to load shared library 'libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0.so.18' referenced by the typelib: libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory This was the error I had before i updated guix. Both of these shared libraries are in the environment's $LIBRARY_PATH.
It is quite common that software is hardcoded to expect the libraries in certain paths e.g. /usr/lib or whatever. I suggest you substitute the path in journal.py to help it find the libraries.
