Python 2.7 will not be maintained past 2020.[1]https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0373/

Python2 is still default for Postgres 10. CREATE EXTENSION PLPYTHONU
results in installation of PLPYTHON2U.

As of now SUSE does not support PLPYTHON3U. (This will change soon)

Are there any plans for declaring Python3 as default for Postgres 11 or a
later Release?

This is probably more of a -hackers question, but I would +1 the python3
version being the default in 11.

For me, this depends on whether there will be an update to PEP 394
sometime for guidance.
