Does Guix provide security support for Python2? For how long?

Hi.  I use Guix on a foreign distro---Debian buster (current stable).  I
want to upgrade Debian to bullseye (current testing), but bullseye does
not provide security support for Python 2.  I still use Python 2 for
OfflineIMAP.  There is a Python 3 port of OfflineIMAP, but it was done
very recently and I fear it is probably be buggy.  So I would like to
install Guix Python 2 atop Debian bullseye just for OfflineIMAP.  Would
that work fine?  Does Guix, unlike Debian bullseye, still provide
security support for Python 2?  For how long?

Regards
