This is certainly not useful advice. It's not up to you to determine which software is appropriate and acceptable for another user to run. To the original question, when installing python software using upstream's methods, it will embed a reference to the path of pip/python used. Using Guix, unless you register that version as a GC root, it will eventually be garbage collected and you'll have to re-install. On a different note however, yesterday a new package was added to guix, protonvpn-cli, which I'm guessing is the python program you're using. I suggest updating your Guix installation and trying it out to see if it works as expected. -- Efraim Flashner <efr...@flashner.co.il> אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted
