Thanks for the lightning fast review!

My eyes still have trouble identifying where exactly this would
go... and #T/#F vs. #t/#f has me a bit confused for good measure!

Obviously, it'd be better to fix the test, or at least understand why it
fails...

I *think* it only needs to be in native-inputs; I think propagated
outputs was generated by the importer... and now that my attention is
drawn to it, I'm dubious of python-setuptools needing to be in
propagated-inputs as well. I can update it and check again later...

I guess it's best practice in Guix to make a comment when multiple
licenses are listed?

Apparently only setup.py is gpl3+, everything else is apache 2.0
licensed. That was my quick look at the code itself, and basically
confirmed by:
