I have a sandbox environment of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3 for VMware (x86_64), and trying to install python-pip on it through terminal using this command:

sudo zypper in python-pip

I am getting this message: Package 'python-pip' not found.

I tried to install pip using python get-pip.py after downloading get-pip.py It gives me this:

Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pip
No distributions at all found for pip

Please Follow instructions from below link for OpenSUSE

python-pip from Cloud:Tools project

Mirroring instructions for quick goto:

For SLE 12 SP4 run the following as root: 
zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Cloud:Tools/SLE_12_SP4/Cloud:Tools.repo
zypper refresh
zypper install python-pip
For SLE 12 SP3 run the following as root: 
zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Cloud:Tools/SLE_12_SP3/Cloud:Tools.repo
zypper refresh
zypper install python-pip
For SLE 12 run the following as root: 
zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Cloud:Tools/SLE_12/Cloud:Tools.repo
zypper refresh
zypper install python-pip

Very old issue. I recently needed to install SLE12sp5 on Power and hit similar challenge with pip. This was a fully licensed SLES edition, so I had access to all available SUSE zypper repos.

The default install on sp5 includes (python) Python 2.7.18 and (python3) Python 3.4.10. I could not find a suitable pip package to install for either.

Poking around I found python itself comes with a module to bootstrap pip. This can be invoked with:

python -m ensurepip

python3 -m ensurepip

https://docs.python.org/3/library/ensurepip.html

On the new Power SLE12sp5 system, the python3 version was successful, however this did not help me as I needed to use Ansible which requires versions greater then 3.4. The python v2 did not work as it seems like something is out of sync with 'setuptools'.

I was ultimately able to solve the Ansible & pip requirement on my system with SUSE's official install of python 3.6 which happens to include pip as well.

And with that I need to use the following in my inventory: ansible_python_interpreter: /usr/bin/python3.6

but that's a small price to pay for getting out of this dependency trap.

Example for SLES12 SP3:

touch  /etc/zypp/repos.d/devel_languages_python.repo
cat < EOF > /etc/zypp/repos.d/devel_languages_python.repo
[devel_languages_python]
name=Python Modules (SLE_12_SP3)
type=rpm-md
baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python/SLE_12_SP3/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python/SLE_12_SP3/repodata/repomd.xml.key
enabled=1
EOF
zypper ref
# choose trust when asked for the signing key
zypper in -y python-pip

  • Didn't really work: Retrieving repository 'Python Modules (SLE_12_SP3)' metadata ----------------[\] File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python/SLE_12_SP3/' – Shailen Oct 25 '18 at 12:52
  • If you check the link at download.opensuse.org, the one I put there is no longer available. So the same goes, but you might try to find the one that is currently active, for example this one: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/infrastructure/SLE_12_SP3/src/ – brada Oct 26 '18 at 20:43
  • Maybe this will work: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python:/backports/SLE_12_SP3/repodata/ – Marki Nov 12 '18 at 16:57
