A complete reinstall of Suse (after saving your home directory and work)
might be quickest if you're in the dark about what's broken.

But you might be able to fix it.  If you can figure out which packages
contain the damaged files, then do forced reinstalls of those.  I've not
used Suse, but a quick Google tells me that the syntax is:

zypper in -f <package-name>

So you'll want to try package names like "python" and "python2.7".
