[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi. Good catch. I may have made a mistake when choosing between these two unfortunately named pypi packages. I need one of these two as a dependency for another Guix package. I am traveling at the moment, but I will double check this when I return in a few days. If I do need multipart instead of python-multipart, perhaps there is a better way to name the Guix packages to cause less confusion. Thanks!
