This depends very much on what sort of python developer you are, I have
a bunch of small tools written in python it is simple and easy enough to
use python as provided by openSUSE if a library is missing that I need
then generally I just package it. So unless you really care about
different python versions there is no need for pip. Especially if you
are writing python programs to be used in openSUSE.
