Well, the bug #27100 [1] is solved now, I guess.  First, the command

  $ guix import pypi flex

works now.  And the command:

  $ guix import pypi kikoo
  following redirection to `https://pypi.org/pypi/kikoo/json/'...
  guix import: error: failed to download meta-data for package 'kikoo'

fails gracefully.  What remains is “guix import pypi kikoo -r” but it is
tracked by #44115 about the recursive option of all the importers.

Otherwise, do you have example to reproduce the bug you initiated.
