    This addresses compatibility issues on Windows self-hosted runners by ensuring that the filenames for Python and PyPy package downloads explicitly include the .zip extension, allowing the Expand-Archive command to function correctly.
  • Add arch to cache key by @​Zxilly in #​896
    This addresses issues with caching by adding the architecture (arch) to the cache key, ensuring that cache keys are accurate to prevent conflicts.

    with:
      python-version: 3.12
      allow-prereleases: true

v4.2.0: Add check-latest input and bug fixes

Compare Source

In scope of this release we add the check-latest input. If check-latest is set to true, the action first checks if the cached version is the latest one. If the locally cached version is not the most up-to-date, the version will then be downloaded from python-versions repository. By default check-latest is set to false. For PyPy it will to try to reach https://downloads.python.org/pypy/versions.json

Example of usage:
steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
  - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
    with:
      python-version: '3.9'
      check-latest: true
  - run: python --version

Besides, it includes such changes as

  • Resolved logs for python-version and file inputs: #​465
  • Added linux os release info to primary key: #​467

v4.1.0

Compare Source

In scope of this pull request we updated actions/cache package as the new version contains fixes for caching error handling. Moreover, we added a new input update-environment. This option allows to specify if the action shall update environment variables (default) or not.

Update-environment input
    - name: setup-python 3.9
      uses: actions/setup-python@v4
      with:
        python-version: 3.9
        update-environment: false

Besides, we added such changes as:

  • Allow python-version-file to be a relative path: #​431
  • Added new environment variables for Cmake: #​440
  • Updated error message for resolveVersion: #​450
  • Assign default value of AGENT_TOOLSDIRECTORY if not set: #​394

v4.0.0

Compare Source

What's Changed
  • Support for python-version-file input: #​336

Example of usage:

- uses: actions/setup-python@v4
  with:
    python-version-file: '.python-version' # Read python version from a file
- run: python my_script.py

There is no default python version for this setup-python major version, the action requires to specify either python-version input or python-version-file input. If the python-version input is not specified the action will try to read required version from file from python-version-file input.

  • Use pypyX.Y for PyPy python-version input: #​349

Example of usage:

- uses: actions/setup-python@v4
  with:
    python-version: 'pypy3.9' # pypy-X.Y kept for backward compatibility
- run: python my_script.py

  • RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE environment variable is equal AGENT_TOOLSDIRECTORY: #​338

  • Bugfix: create missing pypyX.Y symlinks: #​347

  • PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable: #​400

  • Made pythonLocation environment variable consistent for Python and PyPy: #​418
