I don't know python packaging but when I look at other packages it
seems that these are usually used as “inputs” not
“native-inputs”.
I think it should be “python-*” instead of “python-2”. Am I wrong?

What about something like this?
(synopsis "Library for extracting data from Excel files")
(description "This packages provides a library to extract data from
spreadsheets using Microsoft Excel® proprietary file formats @samp{.xls} and
@samp{.xlsx} (versions 2.0 onwards). It has support for Excel dates and is
Unicode-aware. It is not intended as an end-user tool.")
