Probably weechat needs a wrapper script installed around it that will
set the PYTHONPATH to what it needs.

Sometimes Guix people don't experience this problem because they have
Python installed in their profile and thus they have a PYTHONPATH set
that happens to work.  That seems to be what has happened in this case.

Making the wrapper script is the job of python-build-system.  Weechat
appears to be built with gnu-build-system.  Not sure what the right
thing to do to fix this is :)
