It was not my intention to ask you to do a lot of work for me. I was actually thinking of this more as a minor bug, since all packages seemed to pick up the newly installed Python fine, except Trilinos (and that seemed to work by setting PYTHON_EXECUTABLE). Anyway, I'm not working much on SLED and there are other issues making it non-trivial to build Fenics, so I don't think it is worth the effort to try. On the other hand, OpenSUSE 11.4 should be very easy to support. It is likely that the opensuse11.3.platform file will work unmodified. I will check that. Andre is working on openSUSE so I guess he can help out if there are issues.
