I remembered did that too, I think it works in most cases. <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-03/msg00223.html> >> >> https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-06/msg00204.html >> https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-06/msg00221.html >> >> I had what I think is a similar idea over the weekend and tried it out. >> >> Reading the mechanics of venvs as per PEP: >> https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0405 >> >> I decided to see if I added a fake pyvenv.cfg to the python.scm package >> could allow for us to drop the use of PYTHONPATH completely.
