That's a lot of stones that are in the way for getting my middleware stuff to use a contemporary py runtime.
What Richard Brown said. If you need latest and greatest, use Tumbleweed. It is not Fedora Rawhide, which is said to eat your babies (not sure, whether it is still so bad). There are plenty of people who use it even for the production installations.
SLE (and Leap) is for those who don't care about the latest and greatest, but prefer stability.
If 3.6 EOL is reached in 2021, stability demands that we and our users migrate to a more recent version rather sooner than later. And that means that we need to ship a full set of python modules for 3.9. We must still ship 3.6 in 15.4, and I guess it's ok to default to it, but we should provide the framework for our users to migrate to a maintained pythonn version if they so desire. Martin
