I can see that there is a build for SLE_15_SP2. While this build is not failing, version 1.6.0 is deprecating support for Python 2.7 and even 3.4 and 3.5. So maybe there shouldn't even be a build for Python 2 anymore or you might want to reconsider not pulling in version 1.6.0 right now.
Please see discussion here: https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/python@lists.opensuse.org/thread/ZBVJ7H7R7OBIIXMKBWFXZHAEC6BCHO5U/
tl;dr: We should be fine for now, since no change that breaks Python 2.7 has landed yet.
I see no reason to withhold this update. Leap has the old version anyway, this is a devel repository.
