If you are a python developer, you should be using pip. You can avoid
the issue of root with pip install --user foo, and you should be doing
something like using a virtual env to isolate your system python. If
you are an end user of some python program, you expect it to be
installed with zypper and integrated into the OS correctly. I'm not
sure why package maintainers would package python packages that are
not involved in packages/applications.
