please be gentle
I'm new to Linux

You are lacking python package. You didn't wrote what package of PlayOnLinux you downloaded (I think it's generic) You can do one of two proposed solutions.

1) install PlayOnLinux package special for OpenSUSE which is here

2) install "python" package through YAST (i think it is called so in OpenSUSE)

the package for opensuse is the one I installed
will try the python install and get back to you
thank you for your assistance
