3. The fact of life (and I am not much happy with it personally) is that Python 3 in SLE-15 will be 3.6 (and with the EOL, 3.6.15 now forever). Period. Currently, the policy is that every new service pack of SLE-15 will have also the “latest” interpreter-only Python (3.10 for SP4), which will replace the previous latest version.
So, from the point of view of an ISV, one has to rebuild all the Python packages which the distro originally shipped and which a software needs, just to take advantage of the 3.10 interpreter… right?
Yes. Or use virtual envs. Which means establishing another pip-compatible repository and whatever build chain you prefer. Given the current situation I really wonder whether it's worth to waste my time with building native openSUSE/SLE packages. Ciao, Michael.
