Hum, not necessary.  Well, I do not think that 'pip' uses all the
metadata from PyPI to install.  'pip' does dirty things and yes it
just works :-)  But this does not imply that PyPortfolioOpt is
correctly packaged as it is defined by PyPI standards.  I do not know
'poetry'.

Anyway. :-)  I am not finding the PEP defining the Python packaging
and the structure for a PyPI package.  Because it is not clear for me
if it is a bug on Guix side or upstream.


Cheers,
simon
