python-xml package missing on openSUSE Leap 15.6

[goldyfruit]

What happened?

When running the the cluster.yml playbook on openSUSE Leap 15.6, the playbook fails because python-xml is missing.

Currently in experimental: https://software.opensuse.org/package/python-xml?locale=en

A workaround for now is to add the devel:languages:python:Factory.repo repo.

sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python:/Factory/15.6/devel:languages:python:Factory.repo

It might be fixed in soon or not but I think having this referenced here might help people having this issue.

What did you expect to happen?

Successful playbook execution.

How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

Run the cluster.yml playbook on openSUSE Leap 15.6.

Hi, I wanna ask why python-xml could not be installed by zypper refresh && zypper --non-interactive install python-xml, which is in kubespray. See https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubespray/blob/master/roles/bootstrap-os/tasks/opensuse.yml#L52
Thanks.

Oh, maybe cecause of experimental pkg. Do you think we need to add Playbooks to solve this?

Indeed, the package didn't yet arrive in 15.6 stable repository, https://software.opensuse.org/package/python-xml?locale=en

We might need to add some tasks as we don't when this package will be available.

@goldyfruit Hi, I just tested, python3-xml can be installed successfully and no need to add repository. Do you think it will help fix? Otherwise I will add repo for it.
If so, I can open an PR and hope you can help review, thanks.

I was not able to install python3-xml without extra repo.

Ohhh, My mistaken. I just used opensuse leap:15.5, and has no this problem. And 15.6 do have.
