+Bonjour ! Cyril Roelandt of Red Hat who works on OpenStack will be 
[http://www.pycon.fr/2015/schedule/presentation/47/ giving a talk] about 
Guix-Tox at PyConFR in Pau, France, on October 17th.

+[https://git.framasoft.org/Steap/guix-tox Guix-Tox] is a young variant of the 
[http://tox.testrun.org/ Tox] "virtualenv" management tool for Python that uses 
[http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Invoking-guix-environment.html
 guix environment] as its back-end.  In essence, while Tox restricts itself to

+== About GNU Guix ==
+
+[http://www.gnu.org/software/guix GNU Guix] is a functional package manager 
for the GNU system.  The Guix System Distribution or GuixSD is an advanced 
distribution of the GNU system that relies on GNU Guix and 
[http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html respects 
the user's freedom].
+
+In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports 
transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management, 
per-user profiles, and garbage collection.  Guix uses low-level mechanisms from 
the Nix package manager, except that packages are defined as native 
[http://www.gnu.org/software/guile Guile] modules, using extensions to the 
[http://schemers.org Scheme] language.  GuixSD offers a declarative approach to 
operating system configuration management, and is  [...]
+
+GuixSD can be used on an i686 or x86_64 machine.  It is also possible to use 
Guix on top of an already installed GNU/Linux system, including on mips64el and 
armv7.
