If any Python (or other) software does this, it's broken.  File a 
bug there.

This is the wrong thing to do and makes the GNU system an 
inconsistent mess.  …OK, *more* of an inconsistent, loveable, mess 
;-)

It also makes

 $ sudo guix system --load-path=~/path/tp/my/project …

and

 $ sudo guix system -L ~/path/to/my/project -A mypackage …

suddenly result in different file names.

Please don't do it.

Kind regards,

T G-R
