That would be my preferred solution - pin python2-numpy to the last 
NumPy version that supports Python 2, which is most likely 1.16.

Not that I know, but no matter how this will be handled, Guix is the 
perfect platform for people still depending on Python 2 because they can 
always install packages from an earlier release. Which is a good reason 
to end Python 2 support in Guix by an as up to date package set as possible.


Cheers.
