I've tested your patched patch and can confirm that the package "hplip" still 
builds and installs fine.

Hmm, I don't know how to do that. Is there a custom python module loader? I've 
posted here about it on 05 Apr 2016 (subject is "Re: Python and propagation"). 

If there's already another official way of doing it in guix, I don't know it. I 
can patch hpscan to make it manually fiddle with sys.path if that's ok...

gtklick seems to do it via site pth files.
couger seems to manually modify sys.path and add stuff at the end (why at the 
end?)
Where are all the other python adjustments at?
