no python-pythondialog available for leap15.3?

English Install/Boot/Login

I had a look at a vpn package and it says that dependency would be python-pythondialog or for some distros python3-dialog. I checked, the latter is not available but the package python-pythondialog would be available for Tumbleweed, Leap15.2, openSUSE Backports for SLE 15 SP3 and openSUSE Backports for SLE 15 SP2 (see https://software.opensuse.org/package/python-pythondialog?search_term=python-pythondialog). That leaves me wondering why Leap15.3 is not supprted and if one of the otherpackages could be used there (e.g. Backports for SLE 15 SP3)?

Hi
Did you do a search for pythondialog with zypper, you can use partial strings with searching…


zypper se pythondialog

S | Name                 | Summary                                                                      | Type
--+----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+--------
  | python3-pythondialog | A Python interface to the UNIX dialog utility and mostly-compatible programs | package

Thank you, malcolmlewis, I didn’t try zypper with Leap. but since I am at the moment working on my Tumbleweed computer I tried and received the following:

zypper se pythondialog 
... 
S | Name                  | Summary                                                                      | Type 
--+-----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------- 
  | python36-pythondialog | A Python interface to the UNIX dialog utility and mostly-compatible programs | package 
  | python38-pythondialog | A Python interface to the UNIX dialog utility and mostly-compatible programs | package 
  | python39-pythondialog | A Python interface to the UNIX dialog utility and mostly-compatible programs | package

How are these packages related to python3-pythondialog if I want to install that on this Tumbleweed computer?

Hi
The python version in use…


 ls -la `which python3`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jun 23 10:52 /usr/bin/python3 -> python3.8

But zypper is clever…

The following NEW package is going to be installed:
