Ahh so wrap-program creates a script that sets the two env vars

Note the problem doesn't happen with binaries as the order of precedence in
the PATH variable avoids the issue.

Great - thanks very much for including Ricardo!
Apologies one tiny correction - the version of python-pandas probably
doesn't need changing - in the package I update to a more recent custom
build of pandas, I'm using - but it's probably not necessary:

As promised - this works for me but the patching of the make files, in
particular the 2 sed commands is very brittle to any changes in the
underlying project. I'm not sure it should go into Guix proper as-is, but
if people think it's useful I'm happy to submit the patch.
I may try to improve on

updated in Guix proper. We can debate that when everyone sees my horrendous

Interesting - I only have one other suggestion - given "git clone" is
working on its own from the
jmc6k60n-icedtea-3.7.0-jdk/
The aim is to use this to derivive the JDK include directories in a generic
way for some scripts I'm writing, such that I don't need to update them
each time the JDK hash changes after a guix pull.

In case it helps others to answer my own question - you need to define a

Yes - thanks for spotting. It was a typo in the e-mail only.
This seemed to remove about half the size of the new store - suggesting

I suppose my point is - system-level use of PYTHONPATH is ill-advised, because
it's prescribed use in Python is for

python does not respect the outer pyvenv.cfg in nested venvs.
If this can't be solved it pours cold water on the idea somewhat.
