This action helps get the most recent released Python versions.
See the action.yaml for all inputs.
For now, they are quite restrictive:
the only option specifiable is last-n-minor-release.
However, the associated Python script has much more flexibility. We welcome contributions extending the flexibility to the action, or updating the script itself!
Examples:
The below workflow sets up a Python environment with the previous stable minor release. e.g. Right now, 3.10 is the most recent stable minor release; this will set up a Python 3.9 environment.
