I tried this:

  guix environment --container --ad-hoc weechat strace coreutils \
     findutils sed grep less --expose=$(which false)=/usr/bin/python

which installs ‘false’ as /usr/bin/python, but it still works fine.

Felipe, could you report the values of the ‘PYTHONPATH’, ‘PATH’, and
‘LD_LIBRARY_PATH’ variables on your system?

Are you able to work around the problem with:

  guix environment --ad-hoc weechat --pure -- weechat

?

TIA,
Ludo’.
