SDB:Python
The Python Programming Language
Python runs on Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, OS/2, Amiga, Palm Handhelds, and Nokia mobile phones. Python has also been ported to the Java and .NET virtual machines.
Python is distributed under an OSI-approved open source license that makes it free to use, even for commercial products.
The Python Software Foundation (PSF) holds and protects the intellectual property rights behind Python and funds grants and other projects in the Python community.
Installing software
While the openSUSE repositories provide python packages, it is not recommended using them for installing pure-python applications. This is because each Python apps depend on specific versions of Python packages. For this reason, installing multiple apps system-wide will likely generate incompabilities among apps.
The recommended way of installing apps is using pipx, which install each application in its own environment:
sudo zypper in python3-pipx
You can use it like:
pipx install aichat
For using pipx, you don't need sudo, as it works only in your home. This also means other users won't have your pipx-installed applications by default (read the pipx documentation for achieving this).
For specific apps that depend on complex packages that are distributed without compiled binaries, installing with pipx may fail or requires a lot of computational resources. In this case, you can still install the specific dependency from the openSUSE repo and instruct pipx to use that:
sudo zypper in python3-wxPython pipx install --system-site-packages <yourappusing-wxPython>
