Hi,

I've got a feature request for the next documentation update to include Guix as one the way to install Astropy and related packages. Having it in Guix may help to facilitate reproducible research in astronomy environment as it was successfully utilized in bio-informatics.

• paper :: https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2018/paper-on-reproducible-bioinformatics-pipelines-with-guix/

Description

Astropy and the whole chain of dependencies were fully packed in Guix and it might be mentioned in documentation as an alternative reproducible way to install it:

# Latest packed version
guix install python-astropy

# In time machine to have 1:1 reproducible environment
guix time-machine --commit=64e130fc6f26ba60d1e3e2c6ce49a57fb181ce0d -- install python-astropy

Related packages: https://packages.guix.gnu.org/search/?query=python-astropy

Thanks,
Oleg
