Uncached python version getting uncompressed in repo dir

[phoolish]

Describe the bug
Ran into an issue if the python version needs to be downloaded, the tar'd file is uncompressed in the same directory as the - uses: actions/checkout@v2 step. This caused our python linter to fail. We had to reorder the steps, so that the setup-python action was run before the checkout step.

/bin/tar xz --warning=no-unknown-keyword -C ./UUID -f /home/runner/work/_temp/UUID

Which version of the action are you using?

• v2

Environment

• self-hosted
• Linux
• Windows
• Mac

If applicable, please specify if you're using a container

Python Versions
3.6.10

To Reproduce

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Set up Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v2
        with:
          python-version: 3.6.10
      - run: pip install flake8
      - run: flake8 .

Looks like a duplicate of #101

This is being fixed but the root cause is the same. Downloads of Python will be uncompressed in the runner temp directory
