python-devel and dependent rpm packages download for SUSE 12 SP4

Question

I want to install python-devel and it's dependent packages on SUSE 12 SP4. Can you please direct me to the official SUSE package manager site? Using Yast I couldn't find the python-devel package. I did "zypper search python-devel" but couldn't find anything. Please guide me how to install python-devel on SUSE 12 SP4.

Answer 1

I am on SLES 12 SP5, so this may be different now, but I do see devel packages for both python 2 and python 3 with the commands below. Use zypper search -h to learn more.

zypper search -s python-devel python3-devel

% zypper search -s python-devel python3-devel

Answer 2

You might be searching for the wrong package name. SLE packages can be searched at https://packagehub.suse.com/search/ and for openSUSE https://software.opensuse.org. If you just search for "python" you'll see all related packages.
