I'm new to openSUSE and I want to install the newest python version, via terminal not using the YaST.
I have downloaded the latest python tarball on their website,extracted it and via terminal I entered on the folder. Then I proceeded with "./configure" and got some error.
:~/Downloads/Python-3.7.4> ./configure

# Tested on OpenSUSE 15.1. Likely to work on many versions of OpenSUSE.
# This is a minimal install. You can add additional modules to your liking.
sudo zypper in gcc zlib-devel libffi-devel readline-devel
sudo zypper in libopenssl-devel # Optional. Allows compiling against OpenSSL.
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.4/Python-3.7.4.tar.xz
unxz Python-3.7.4.tar.xz
tar -xf Python-3.7.4.tar
cd Python-3.7.4
./configure
make
make test
sudo make install
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib64/python3.7/lib-dynload/ /usr/local/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload # This symlink corrects the readline error.

I guess simply adding --libdir=<prefix>/lib to configuration call will solve the problem.
