It may depend on which version of SUSE you're using. For example, on openSUSE 11.4, if you go into yast, select Software Management, then from the view tab, select Patterns, under the Development section, there's a Python pattern.
Different Python versions appear to be available, from the standard repository as well as from
Code:
devel:languages:python
via the OBS ( openSUSE Build Service ) repositories. That's the view of things that I get, using a 64-bit machine. Heres's a link to a page that is a jumping off point for all sorts of info. on
repositories ( for openSUSE ):
