Hi,
I think the recent update of python-pip did break how pip install can be
used in a container.
I have some recipes that depended on a `pip install [...] foo.whl` [0].
But that does not work anymore with pip v25 inside guix, although I
manage to do it outside a build container.
To replicate on my system:
`guix shell -C python-pip`
Then:
`pip install`
You should get the error message:
```

Whatever I try after pip install I get the same thing.
I don't understand if this is something that changed upstream in pip, or
if the pip version packaged in guix that is broken.
This seems to be linked to a networking issue, which is logic in a
container environment but it was working a few weeks ago.
I can file this on Codeberg issues, but wanted to check if it was a dumb
mistake on my part.
Cheers,
Alexis
