I'd just try typing `which python' on the command line, and see if python is
already installed.  If it is, which will tell you where python is installed.  To
start python, just type `python'.  And do surf to www.python.org.

If python really isn't installed, IIRC, just typing:

yast -i python

on the command line as root will do the installing.  If your SuSE install is a
basic out-of-the-box install, yast will install python package plus needed
dependencies.  It'll ask for the required installation cds/dvds.

See http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/trench/15408.html for more info.
