Python extensions not working on Falkon 3.1.0/openSuse Linux Leap 15.3

Hello,

I will try to answer a little bit.

The Python support is not included by your distribution.

See this search link (and check the supported versions):
https://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=ALL&q=falkon

You are using old version of Falkon for which the OCS support does not 
exist yet.

It was added in Falkon 3.2.0, see the changelog:
https://invent.kde.org/network/falkon/-/blob/master/CHANGELOG

The extensions can be installed manually and you found a way.
The QML API was added in Falkon 3.1.0.


> For Python support...

Falkon is using PySide2 (as official Qt supported python bindings) and 
Python3 for python support. In the search link above you can see the 
falkon-python package which is only available to "Tumbleweed" or 
experimental version. Please contact your distribution about more 
details.


Best regards,
Juraj
