Environment

Situation
Installation of "python36-pip", when version "python3-pip-10.0.1-13.6.1" is already installed, causes a "file conflict" error in zypper.
The "file conflict" is only a symlink that both packages try to own.
Depending on which pip package you install last, the symlink is owned by that package.
/usr/bin/pip
and
/etc/alternatives/pip
and this file:
/usr/bin/pip3
/usr/bin/pip -> /etc/alternatives/pip
/etc/alternatives/pip -> /usr/bin/pip3.6
(depending on which RPM package was installed last)

Resolution

python36-pip-20.2.4-8.12.1.noarch.rpm
Previous workaround recommendation:
Use:
"--replacefiles"
Install the packages even if they replace files from other, already installed, packages. Default is to treat file conflicts as an error.
