Is

    guix shell --export-manifest

not already doing that?  And “guix package --export-channels” is
similar for the channels.scm file.

Well, we could have a command somewhere for exporting both.  Maybe.

Following the idea, you would like:

    guix shell --init=python

that generates some guix.scm and channels.scm file where the guix.scm
would be a template for building Python some project.

Right?
