I’m having a fair share of problems with OpenSuse Tumbleweed and python atm.
Coming from Linux Mint and windows.
Installing python-packages with pip was pretty easy.
But I have trouble understanding how to install the following packages on TumbleWeed:
yaml for Python(311)
When I try to use pip I get prompted to use zypper.
I am stuck at this point. Do I have to use something different than zypper? What is the correct way here?
Help very much appreciated and thank you in advance!

**Thanks everyone for the help! **
I could succesfully create a virtual enviroment in my Visualstudio Code and installed the needed libraries. The next step for me would be to create a executable package.

If you need to install an executable python program, use
pipx
it will create special environment for the python program so it won’t break anything else in the system but it only works on packages (pipx install some-package
) that have entry scripts (so can be called directly, libraries usually do not have that as you use them from other python program).In short that error you get that tells you to use zypper is there for an important reason.
Yea that messages spooked me from using pip.
