I'm not sure what you mean, Slackware has had Python 3 for a very long
time, fwict it has been available since 13.37 which was released in
2011: https://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.37/python/python3/

Hi, slackbuilds.org is not official slackware package, and not always is updated and keept up with all the security patches. What I mean is that from Slackwares next stable release

we have python3 distributed with the official slackware release, which was not the case up to now.

In dropline gnome we had in the past to build up our ownpackage of python3.
