You can use separate profiles:

    guix package --profile=/home/me/python2 \
                 --install python2 python2-numpy”

This will install the latest version of Python 2.7 together with a
matching variant of numpy into a profile at /home/me/python2.  You can
“activate” the profile with

    export GUIX_PROFILE=/home/me/python2
    source $GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile

You can create as many separate profiles as you need.
