We could adapt python-build-system like that:

diff --git a/guix/build/python-build-system.scm 
b/guix/build/python-build-system.scm
index 9109fb4..6304f0c 100644

-(define* (build #:rest empty)
+(define* (build #:key (build-flags '()) #:allow-other-keys)
   "Build a given Python package."

+  (call-setuppy "build" build-flags))
 
 (define* (check #:key tests? test-target #:allow-other-keys)
   "Run the test suite of a given Python package."

How can I check which rebuilds that would cause? Seems to rebuild quite a bit 
on my local machine when I try to install python2-wxpython now.
