Matej Cepl dc71fadfa7 - New development of new major version, update to 3.15.0~a1:
- Tools/Demos
    - gh-139330: SBOM generation tool didn’t cross-check
      the version and checksum values against the
      Modules/expat/refresh.sh script, leading to the values
      becoming out-of-date during routine updates.
    - gh-132006: XCframeworks now include privacy manifests to
      satisfy Apple App Store submission requirements.
    - gh-138171: A script for building an iOS XCframework was
      added. As part of this change, the top level iOS folder has
      been moved to be a subdirectory of the Apple folder.
    - gh-137873: The iOS test runner has been simplified,
      resolving some issues that have been observed using
      the runner in GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines test
      environments.
    - gh-137484: Have Tools/wasm/wasi put the build Python into a
      directory named after the build triple instead of “build”.
    - gh-137025: The wasm_build.py script has been removed.
      Tools/wasm/emscripten and Tools/wasm/wasi should be used
      instead, as described in the Dev Guide.
    - gh-137248: Add a --logdir option to Tools/wasm/wasi for
      specifying where to write log files.
    - gh-137243: Have Tools/wasm/wasi detect a WASI SDK install
      in /opt when it was directly extracted from a release
      tarball.
    - gh-136251: Fixes and usability improvements for
      Tools/wasm/emscripten/web_example
    - gh-135968: Stubs for strip are now provided as part of an
      iOS install.
    - gh-135379: The cases generator no longer accepts type

Python 3 in SUSE
==============

* Subpackages *

Python 3 is split into several subpackages, based on external dependencies.
The main package 'python3' has soft dependencies on all subpackages needed to
assemble the standard library; however, these might not all be installed by default.

If you attempt to import a module that is currently not installed, an ImportError is thrown,
with instructions to install the missing subpackage. Installing the subpackage might result
in installing libraries that the subpackage requires to function.


* ensurepip *

The 'ensurepip' module from Python 3 standard library (PEP 453) is supposed to deploy
a bundled copy of the pip installer. This makes no sense in a managed distribution like SUSE.
Instead, you need to install package 'python3-pip'. Usually this will be installed automatically
with 'python3'.

Using 'ensurepip' when pip is not installed will result in an ImportError with instructions
to install 'python3-pip'.


* Documentation *

You can find documentation in seprarate packages: python3-doc and
python3-doc-pdf. These contan following documents:

    Tutorial, What's New in Python, Global Module Index, Library Reference,
    Macintosh Module Reference, Installing Python Modules, Distributing Python
    Modules, Language Reference, Extending and Embedding, Python/C API,
    Documenting Python 

The python3-doc package constains many text files from source tarball.


* Interactive mode *

Interactive mode is by default enhanced with of history and command completion.
If you don't like these features, you can unset the PYTHONSTARTUP variable
in your .profile or disable it system wide in /etc/profile.d/python.sh.
