Oops, you are right! So
guix build python-activepapers
--with-source=$HOME/Development/python-activepapers/
actually works, but
guix build python-activepapers
--with-source=$HOME/Development/python-activepapers
(without the terminating slash) doesn't:
guix build: error: guix/scripts/build.scm:155:6: package
`python-activepapers-0.2.2' has an invalid input: ("source"
"/gnu/store/bbi86dn5nq6f79lhvs7ghzisjahjaq5p-python-activepapers")
Perhaps I should stop trying to understand computers ;-)
Thanks,
Konrad.
