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 --- a/guix/build/python-build-system.scm +++ b/guix/build/python-build-system.scm @@ -44,9 +44,9 @@ (zero?

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.
