Hi Alice,

in short: yes. I can’t tell for sure for this exact case because
the output of `guix graph` is too big for `xdot` to handle, but it’s
likely python-setuptools is implicitly propagated through some dependency
(perhaps a bug like https://issues.guix.gnu.org/25235) to python-spacy
and thus it looks like it’s “not required”.
