I guess we see this use-case in some of the other languages - I think I've seen people asking about it with Rust at least. I guess it goes something like: As a software developer I've installed multiple version of Python to test my application. My application uses some libraries that are not packaged in Guix and some that are packaged in Guix. How can I use the local interpreters and local libraries. I hear a lot of stuff about 'uv' these days as the state of the art in Python land. Steve / Futurile
