If you are a python developer, you should be using pip. You can avoid the issue of root with pip install --user foo, and you should be doing something like using a virtual env to isolate your system python. If you are an end user of some python program, you expect it to be installed with zypper and integrated into the OS correctly. I'm not sure why package maintainers would package python packages that are not involved in packages/applications.
This depends very much on what sort of python developer you are, I have a bunch of small tools written in python it is simple and easy enough to use python as provided by openSUSE if a library is missing that I need then generally I just package it. So unless you really care about different python versions there is no need for pip. Especially if you are writing python programs to be used in openSUSE. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
