Python 2 is not going to be around forever and for better or worse in some way or another the interests of openSUSE TW and openSUSE Leap are tied to SLE. SLE has a 10 year life cycle and having Python 2 as the default python interpreter in 2028 is not realistic.
I don't see what the SLE life cycle has to do with this.
Well, in 2 years 9 months and 14 days [1] Python 2 will no longer be maintained upstream.
Well, in 4 years 6 months Python 3.6 will also no longer be maintained upstream. (PEP 494)
This would imply that if SLE sticks with Python 2 as the default interpreter SUSE would be maintaining, on their own, Python 2 for roughly 9 years. I'd say that is unrealistic and thus it is a pretty good bet that SLE 15 will have Python 3 as the default interpreter.
So it is not decided what SLE 15 will do?
