Hi Josh,
Lots of packages including libreoffice transitively depend on python2-numpy, so this needs some sort of resolution — perhaps simply pinning python2-numpy to a previous version?
That would be my preferred solution - pin python2-numpy to the last NumPy version that supports Python 2, which is most likely 1.16.
However, Python 2 will not be maintained after the end of 2019, and I'm not sure if there is an overall Guix-wide migration plan for python2-* packages.
Not that I know, but no matter how this will be handled, Guix is the perfect platform for people still depending on Python 2 because they can always install packages from an earlier release. Which is a good reason to end Python 2 support in Guix by an as up to date package set as possible.
Cheers. Konrad.
