IMO Pypa recommandations are not relevant in Guix context.  What about
something more neutral like “Xenophobic package manager”? ;) Just

I would prefer 

    (synopsis "Package manager for Python software")

It would be nice to have a more verbose description, for example
describing its main features...  Sorry I can't help much :)

Otherwise LGTM!
