I am working on HANA virtual machine which has SUSE Enterprise Server 12 SP2 distribution. I am trying to install python packages on it. Since there is no online repo for SLE12\_SP2, I found SLE12\_SP2 SDKs from [https://download.suse.com/index.jsp](https://download.suse.com/index.jsp) and added the two images as local repositories. However, upon installing `zypper install python-devel` I get `Package python-devel not found`! I have also tried using online repo SLE12\_SP3 from [https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python/SLE\_12\_SP3/devel:languages:python.repo](https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python/SLE_12_SP3/devel:languages:python.repo) , but still python-devel package cannot be found!!! ---

If you have registered your server you should be able to add the online repo for the SDK either through YaST or via the command “SUSEConnect -p sle-sdk/12.2/x86\_64”. Checking my local copy of the ISO of the SDK for SLE12 SP2 I see that there are two Python devel packages available depending on whether you mean Python 2.x or 3.x: /suse/x86\_64/python-devel-2.7.9-24.2.x86\_64.rpm /suse/x86\_64/python3-devel-3.4.1-12.1.x86\_64.rpm Each have since been updated so you should see newer versions available via the online repo. The URL you post is NOT for the SDK for SLE12\_SP3 (plus is for SLE12 SP3 when you said your server is SP2) so you should remove repo that unless you want to install unsupported Python packages on your server which should not be required for SAP HANA. ## HTH.

Thanks for your response. I have downloaded the SDKs from [https://download.suse.com/protected/Summary.jsp?buildid=qb71v1YjQjI~](https://download.suse.com/protected/Summary.jsp?buildid=qb71v1YjQjI~) and they do not seem to have python-devel in /suse/x86\_64! Is there any other resource I can download the complete version SDK? ---

Hi That’s a link to the install medium not the SDK… This is the one you need SUSE Linux Enterprise Software Development Kit 12 SP2, just DVD1, DVD2 is the src rpms; [https://download.suse.com/Download?buildid=g3e7P21X6Lw~](https://download.suse.com/Download?buildid=g3e7P21X6Lw~) ---

I actually need python-pip. Where can I get this package for SLES 12 SP3? As local repositories I have the following: DVD1 - SLE-12-SP3-SAP-DVD-x86\_64-GM-DVD1.iso DVD2 - SLE-12-SP3-SAP-DVD-x86\_64-GM-DVD2.iso SDK-DVD1 - SLE-12-SP3-SDK-DVD-x86\_64-GM-DVD1.iso SDK-DVD2 - SLE-12-SP3-SDK-DVD-x86\_64-GM-DVD2.iso I am really not sure why python-pip is not present in any of these DVD images. These 4 ISO files together form 17GB of data and I need to install the readline python module. ---

Is there a python readline module? Or just libreadline6 (should be on the standard SAP DVD). ---

Hi shailensobhee, have you had a look at the SUSE Linux Enterprise Module for Public Cloud 12? I’ve seen references to a patch for python-pip, which went (among others) to that channel. Regards, J
