You’re talking about the search path formed by ‘guix environment’, right? > My last reporting that pip was working correctly in non-environment was > wrong because I had failed to logout/login after installing the python > package; after doing so, the behavior is the same as in an environment: > the user site location (~/.local/...) comes after site-packages rather > than before, as would normally be the case. Apparently this is due to > setting a site-packages location with the environment variable > PYTHONPATH, which has precedence over the user site location. ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile prepends things to the search paths, but it’s up to the user whether to source it before or after other definitions have been provided (in .bash_profile or similar). On GuixSD, for instance, my GUILE_LOAD_PATH has: ~/.local and similar entries then ~/.guix-profile/share/guile/site/2.0 then /run/current-system/profile/share/guile/site/2.0 Ludo’.
