Hello,
where can i read about the reason of changes in structure of devel:languages:python and the new devel:languages:python:backports?

I am guessing https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2018-04/msg00698.html contains most of the reasoning, but at the same time some Leap users wish to use the latest version of the python stack, this new backports repo allows them to do that with the added guarantee that while these packages have not been tested by the openSUSE project for use in leap they do atleast meet our quality standards. The description of the backports repo sums up how it works pretty well so I will paste that below: This project is building the Tumbleweed versions of python modules for older distributions. Submission should happen to the respective devel project for the Tumbleweed package instead. The packages in here are automatically polled from OBS openSUSE:Factory repository and removed/added as they live there.
