I have installed python3 on SUSE 13.1 and then uninstalled it. I have also uninstalled python2.7. Then I've installed them again using zypper:

zypper install python
zypper install python3

The installation went fine, but the result is that I no longer have python in my /usr/bin, and I don't know how to start the interpreter at all.

whereis python
python: /usr/lib/python3.3 /usr/lib/python2.7
whereis python3
python3: /usr/lib/python3.3 /usr/share/man/man1/python3.1.gz

Also: 

ls /usr/bin/python*
ls: cannot access /usr/bin/python*: No such file or directory

I could manualy create link with ln -s, but I cannot even find where the binary file is.

Any help? Please.

  • I have installed python manually, downloaded from [official site](http://www.python.org/download/). Now I can run python, but I get the error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/etc/pythonstart", line 7, in import readline ImportError: No module named readline – Luka Feb 27 '14 at 15:59
  • I had to install `readline-devel` and recompile. Now it seems to be ok. – Luka Feb 27 '14 at 16:09
  • No, it still sucks :( Now it doesn't recognize numpy, although I have installed it with `zypper`. I just want to get back to plain old python provided by suse repos. – Luka Feb 27 '14 at 16:21

You can try to copy/rename the following file

cp /etc/python3start  /etc/pythonstart
