I'm trying to update Python from 3.4.10 to whatever 3.6.x version is available for a SLES 12 SP5 system. 3.6 is no longer supported but sufficient for our needs; something newer is fine if it works on this OS. Suggestions greatly appreciated!

Where are relevant zypper repositories for SLES 12? The main factory now shown is http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python:/Factory/15.4/ but that seems too new.

Is some option available other than using a newer repository with zypper? (I only have SSH access to the machine. And, I'd prefer to avoid building Python from source if possible.)

Installing newest Python on openSUSE seems related but doesn't answer my question because the repositories have changed or been removed.

I attempted to use the commands shown in Installing newest Python on openSUSE but hit problems because the named repository no longer exists.

I then hunted around and found http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python:/Factory/15.4/

Stopped there because that repository doesn't seem relevant.

SLE12-SP5 includes a package named python36, which contains version 3.6.8. It was later updated to version 3.6.15. See the output of zypper search --details --type package python36.
