package definitions are self-contained. So when calling "guix shell",
first the python-pytz package would be built (but this fails), then the
shell would be started with the packages in it. Otherwise said, the package
builds see nothing of your shell - this is part of the functional
paradigm, package builds are functions of their arguments (inputs etc.)
and independent of the surrounding state.
Or very short:
build environment ≠ your guix shell
The attached patch works when you are in a git checkout of Guix, with
the current Python and with python-next. But it requires a lot of
package rebuilds, so I am not going to apply it on master.
I suppose that the Python team will apply something like it when
updating Python.
