SLE got an update from 10.X to 20.X during 15-SP1 with a couple of updates since one was in 15-SP2, it shouldn't be too hard to take the sources for that package and ship them as an update for Leap unless there is a really good reason not to have a newer version like it would break lots of things for lots of people, but it already seems broken.
I have no insight into why SLE15-SP1 got that update, but I would not consider pip broken for Leap <= 15.2 If you use pip, you have already decided to populate either a user site or a virtual environment. If that is the case, you can always use the system pip 10 to install a more recent pip into the user site or venv. Never use pip as root. System packages normally don't need pip on runtime. If there was one in Leap, which does not work with pip10, it would have been broken from the beginning. Ben
