Hi Ben,

reading the comments from https://github.com/ewels/MultiQC/issues/376

it seems that in the upcoming release they will solve the problem.

Are we going to wait for the next v. 1.0 or include it now and update later ?

I just pushed an update to 0.9 as a29929b32caf9e437d18bdb0cd4d1b22bc096fed. I did not add nose as an input because the issue seems to be with matplotlib, not multiqc. Specifically, nose is listed in the 'requires.txt' file of matplotlib when should only be needed for testing.

So to test the updated package I ran
$ ./pre-inst-env guix environment --ad-hoc multiqc python python-nose glibc-locales -C --no-grafts --no-substitutes

[env] # LC_ALL=en_AU.UTF-8 LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 GUIX_LOCPATH=/gnu/store/hyi7svs0ds79wrcg5l0nr36zzjikqj7i-glibc-locales-2.24/lib/locale/ multiqc -h

The use of click with python3 means that we must set locales or it will refuse to run. Please do tell if you find any issues with the update - I've not used this tool before so I only tested it superficially.
