-# Usage
+## Basic usage
See [action.yml](action.yml)
-Basic:
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
-- uses: actions/setup-python@v4
+- uses: actions/setup-python@v4 # <- v4 is a major release tag of the action: https://github.com/actions/setup-python/tags
with:
- python-version: '3.x' # Version range or exact version of a Python version to use, using SemVer's version range syntax
- architecture: 'x64' # optional x64 or x86. Defaults to x64 if not specified
+ python-version: '3.10'
- run: python my_script.py
```
+The `python-version` input is optional. If not supplied, the Python/PyPy version from the PATH will be used. The default version of Python/PyPy in PATH vary between runners and can be changed unexpectedly so we recommend always use `setup-python`.
-Read Python version from file:
-```yaml
-steps:
-- uses: actions/checkout@v3
-- uses: actions/setup-python@v4
- with:
- python-version-file: '.python-version' # Read python version from a file
-- run: python my_script.py
-```
+The action will first check the local [toolcache](docs/advanced-usage.md#hosted-tool-cache) for a [semver](https://github.com/npm/node-semver#versions) match. If unable to find a specific version in the tool cache, the action will attempt to download a version of Python from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/actions/python-versions/releases) and for PyPy from the official [PyPy's dist](https://downloads.python.org/pypy/).
-Matrix Testing:
-```yaml
-jobs:
- build:
- runs-on: ubuntu-latest
- strategy:
- matrix:
- python-version: [ '2.x', '3.x', 'pypy2.7', 'pypy3.7', 'pypy3.8' ]

- python-version: ${{ matrix.python-version }}
- - name: Display Python version
- run: python --version
-```
+## Supported version syntax
-Download and set up a version of Python that does not come preinstalled on an image:
-```yaml
-jobs:
- build:
- runs-on: ubuntu-latest
- strategy:
- matrix:
- # in this example, there is a newer version already installed, 3.7.7, so the older version will be downloaded
- python-version: ['3.7.4', '3.8', '3.9', '3.10']
- steps:
- - uses: actions/checkout@v3
- - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
- with:
- python-version: ${{ matrix.python-version }}
- - run: python my_script.py
-```
+The `python-version` input supports the [Semantic Versioning Specification](https://github.com/npm/node-semver#versions) and some special version notations (e.g. `x.y-dev`), for detailed examples please refer to the section: [Using python-version input](docs/advanced-usage.md#using-python-version-input) of the [Advanced usage](docs/advanced-usage.md) guide.
-Download and set up an accurate pre-release version of Python:
-```yaml
-steps:
-- uses: actions/checkout@v3
-- uses: actions/setup-python@v4
- with:
- python-version: '3.11.0-alpha.1'
-- run: python my_script.py
-```
+## Supported architectures
-Download and set up the latest available version of Python (includes both pre-release and stable versions):
-```yaml
-steps:
-- uses: actions/checkout@v3
-- uses: actions/setup-python@v4
- with:
- python-version: '3.11.0-alpha - 3.11.0' # SemVer's version range syntax
-- run: python my_script.py
-```
+Using `architecture` input it's possible to specify required python's interpreter architecture: `x86` or `x64`. If input is not specified it defaults to `x64`.
-Download and set up the latest patch version of Python (for specified major & minor versions):
-```yaml
-steps:
-- uses: actions/checkout@v3
-- uses: actions/setup-python@v4
- with:

-- run: python my_script.py
-```
-
-Download and set up the latest stable version of Python (for specified major version):
-```yaml
-steps:
-- uses: actions/checkout@v3
-- uses: actions/setup-python@v4
- with:
- python-version: '3.x'
-- run: python my_script.py
-```
-
-Download and set up PyPy:
-
-```yaml
-jobs:
- build:
- runs-on: ubuntu-latest
- strategy:
- matrix:
- python-version:
- - 'pypy3.7' # the latest available version of PyPy that supports Python 3.7
- - 'pypy3.7-v7.3.3' # Python 3.7 and PyPy 7.3.3
- - 'pypy3.8' # the latest available version of PyPy that supports Python 3.8
- steps:
- - uses: actions/checkout@v3
- - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
- with:
- python-version: ${{ matrix.python-version }}
- - run: python my_script.py
-```
-More details on PyPy syntax and examples of using preview / nightly versions of PyPy can be found in the [Available versions of PyPy](#available-versions-of-pypy) section.
-
-An output is available with the absolute path of the python interpreter executable if you need it:
-```yaml
-jobs:
- build:
- runs-on: ubuntu-latest
- steps:
- - uses: actions/checkout@v3
- - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
- id: cp310
- with:
- python-version: "3.10"
- - run: pipx run --python '${{ steps.cp310.outputs.python-path }}' nox --version
-```
-
->The environment variable `pythonLocation` also becomes available after Python or PyPy installation. It contains the absolute path to the folder where the desired version of Python or PyPy is installed.
-
-# Getting started with Python + Actions
-
-Check out our detailed guide on using [Python with GitHub Actions](https://help.github.com/en/actions/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/using-python-with-github-actions).
-
-# Available versions of Python
-
-`setup-python` is able to configure Python from two sources:
-
-- Preinstalled versions of Python in the tools cache on GitHub-hosted runners.
- - For detailed information regarding the available versions of Python that are installed, see [Supported software](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/specifications-for-github-hosted-runners#supported-software).
- - For every minor version of Python, expect only the latest patch to be preinstalled.
- - If `3.8.1` is installed for example, and `3.8.2` is released, expect `3.8.1` to be removed and replaced by `3.8.2` in the tools cache.
- - If the exact patch version doesn't matter to you, specifying just the major and minor version will get you the latest preinstalled patch version. In the previous example, the version spec `3.8` will use the `3.8.2` Python version found in the cache.
- - Use `-dev` instead of a patch number (e.g., `3.11-dev`) to install the latest patch version release for a given minor version, *alpha and beta releases included*.
-- Downloadable Python versions from GitHub Releases ([actions/python-versions](https://github.com/actions/python-versions/releases)).
- - All available versions are listed in the [version-manifest.json](https://github.com/actions/python-versions/blob/main/versions-manifest.json) file.
- - If there is a specific version of Python that is not available, you can open an issue here
-
-**Note:** Python versions used in this action are generated in the [python-versions](https://github.com/actions/python-versions) repository. For macOS and Ubuntu images python versions are built from the source code. For Windows the python-versions repository uses installation executable. For more information please refer to the [python-versions](https://github.com/actions/python-versions) repository.
-
- # Available versions of PyPy
-
- `setup-python` is able to configure PyPy from two sources:
-
-- Preinstalled versions of PyPy in the tools cache on GitHub-hosted runners
- - For detailed information regarding the available versions of PyPy that are installed, see [Supported software](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/specifications-for-github-hosted-runners#supported-software).
- - For the latest PyPy release, all versions of Python are cached.
- - Cache is updated with a 1-2 week delay. If you specify the PyPy version as `pypy3.7` or `pypy-3.7`, the cached version will be used although a newer version is available. If you need to start using the recently released version right after release, you should specify the exact PyPy version using `pypy3.7-v7.3.3` or `pypy-3.7-v7.3.3`.
-
-- Downloadable PyPy versions from the [official PyPy site](https://downloads.python.org/pypy/).
- - All available versions that we can download are listed in [versions.json](https://downloads.python.org/pypy/versions.json) file.
- - PyPy < 7.3.3 are not available to install on-flight.
- - If some versions are not available, you can open an issue in https://foss.heptapod.net/pypy/pypy/
-
-# Hosted Tool Cache
-
-GitHub hosted runners have a tools cache that comes with a few versions of Python + PyPy already installed. This tools cache helps speed up runs and tool setup by not requiring any new downloads. There is an environment variable called `RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE` on each runner that describes the location of this tools cache and there is where you will find Python and PyPy installed. `setup-python` works by taking a specific version of Python or PyPy in this tools cache and adding it to PATH.
-
-|| Location |
-|------|-------|
-|**Tool Cache Directory** |`RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE`|
-|**Python Tool Cache**|`RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE/Python/*`|
-|**PyPy Tool Cache**|`RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE/PyPy/*`|
-
-GitHub virtual environments are setup in [actions/virtual-environments](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments). During the setup, the available versions of Python and PyPy are automatically downloaded, setup and documented.
-- Tools cache setup for Ubuntu: [Install-Toolset.ps1](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/main/images/linux/scripts/installers/Install-Toolset.ps1) [Configure-Toolset.ps1](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/main/images/linux/scripts/installers/Configure-Toolset.ps1)
-- Tools cache setup for Windows: [Install-Toolset.ps1](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/main/images/win/scripts/Installers/Install-Toolset.ps1) [Configure-Toolset.ps1](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/main/images/win/scripts/Installers/Configure-Toolset.ps1)

-# Specifying a Python version
-
-If there is a specific version of Python that you need and you don't want to worry about any potential breaking changes due to patch updates (going from `3.7.5` to `3.7.6` for example), you should specify the exact major, minor, and patch version (such as `3.7.5`)
- - The only downside to this is that set up will take a little longer since the exact version will have to be downloaded if the exact version is not already installed on the runner due to more recent versions.
- - MSI installers are used on Windows for this, so runs will take a little longer to set up vs Mac and Linux.
-
-You should specify only a major and minor version if you are okay with the most recent patch version being used.
- - There will be a single patch version already installed on each runner for every minor version of Python that is supported.
- - The patch version that will be preinstalled, will generally be the latest and every time there is a new patch released, the older version that is preinstalled will be replaced.
- - Using the most recent patch version will result in a very quick setup since no downloads will be required since a locally installed version Python on the runner will be used.
-
-# Specifying a PyPy version
-The version of PyPy should be specified in the format `pypy[-v]` or `pypy-[-v]`.
-The `` parameter is optional and can be skipped. The latest version will be used in this case.
-
-```
-pypy3.7 or pypy-3.7 # the latest available version of PyPy that supports Python 3.7
-pypy3.8 or pypy-3.8 # the latest available version of PyPy that supports Python 3.8
-pypy2.7 or pypy-2.7 # the latest available version of PyPy that supports Python 2.7
-pypy3.7-v7.3.3 or pypy-3.7-v7.3.3 # Python 3.7 and PyPy 7.3.3
-pypy3.7-v7.x or pypy-3.7-v7.x # Python 3.7 and the latest available PyPy 7.x
-pypy3.7-v7.3.3rc1 or pypy-3.7-v7.3.3rc1 # Python 3.7 and preview version of PyPy
-pypy3.7-nightly or pypy-3.7-nightly # Python 3.7 and nightly PyPy
-```
-
-Note: `pypy2` and `pypy3` have been removed in v3. Use the format above instead.
-
-# Caching packages dependencies
+## Caching packages dependencies
The action has built-in functionality for caching and restoring dependencies. It uses [actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/cache) under the hood for caching dependencies but requires less configuration settings. Supported package managers are `pip`, `pipenv` and `poetry`. The `cache` input is optional, and caching is turned off by default.
-The action defaults to searching for a dependency file (`requirements.txt` for pip, `Pipfile.lock` for pipenv or `poetry.lock` for poetry) in the repository, and uses its hash as a part of the cache key. Use `cache-dependency-path` for cases where multiple dependency files are used, they are located in different subdirectories or different files for the hash want to be used.
+The action defaults to searching for a dependency file (`requirements.txt` for pip, `Pipfile.lock` for pipenv or `poetry.lock` for poetry) in the repository, and uses its hash as a part of the cache key. Input `cache-dependency-path` is used for cases when multiple dependency files are used, they are located in different subdirectories or different files for the hash want to be used.
- - For pip, the action will cache global cache directory
- - For pipenv, the action will cache virtualenv directory
- - For poetry, the action will cache virtualenv directory
-
-**Please Note:** Restored cache will not be used if the requirements.txt file is not updated for a long time and a newer version of the dependency is available that can lead to an increase in total build time.
-
-The requirements file format allows to specify dependency versions using logical operators (for example chardet>=3.0.4) or specify dependencies without any versions. In this case the pip install -r requirements.txt command will always try to install the latest available package version. To be sure that the cache will be used, please stick to a specific dependency version and update it manually if necessary.

-# Environment variables
-
- The `update-environment` flag defaults to `true`.
- With this setting, the action will add/update environment variables (e.g. `PATH`, `PKG_CONFIG_PATH`, `pythonLocation`) for `python` to just work out of the box.
-
- If `update-environment` is set to `false`, the action will not add/update environment variables.
- This can prove useful if you want the only side-effect to be to ensure python is installed and rely on the `python-path` output to run python.
- Such a requirement on side-effect could be because you don't want your composite action messing with your user's workflows.

-# Using `setup-python` with a self hosted runner
-
-Python distributions are only available for the same [environments](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments#available-environments) that GitHub Actions hosted environments are available for. If you are using an unsupported version of Ubuntu such as `19.04` or another Linux distribution such as Fedora, `setup-python` will not work. If you have a supported self-hosted runner and you would like to use `setup-python`, there are a few extra things you need to make sure are set up so that new versions of Python can be downloaded and configured on your runner.
-
-If you are experiencing problems while configuring Python on your self-hosted runner, turn on [step debugging](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/main/docs/action-debugging.md#step-debug-logs) to see addition logs.
-
-### Windows
-
-- Your runner needs to be running with administrator privileges so that the appropriate directories and files can be set up when downloading and installing a new version of Python for the first time.
-- If your runner is configured as a service, make sure the account that is running the service has the appropriate write permissions so that Python can get installed. The default `NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE` should be sufficient.
-- You need `7zip` installed and added to your `PATH` so that the downloaded versions of Python files can be extracted properly during first-time setup.
-- MSI installers are used when setting up Python on Windows. A word of caution as MSI installers update registry settings.
-- The 3.8 MSI installer for Windows will not let you install another 3.8 version of Python. If `setup-python` fails for a 3.8 version of Python, make sure any previously installed versions are removed by going to "Apps & Features" in the Settings app.
-
-### Linux
-
-- The Python packages that are downloaded from `actions/python-versions` are originally compiled from source in `/opt/hostedtoolcache/` with the [--enable-shared](https://github.com/actions/python-versions/blob/94f04ae6806c6633c82db94c6406a16e17decd5c/builders/ubuntu-python-builder.psm1#L35) flag, which makes them non-relocatable.
-- By default runner downloads and install the tools to `/opt/hostedtoolcache`. The environment variable called `AGENT_TOOLSDIRECTORY` can be set to change this location.
- - In the same shell that your runner is using, type `export AGENT_TOOLSDIRECTORY=/opt/hostedtoolcache`.
- - A more permanent way of setting the environment variable is to create a `.env` file in the same directory as your runner and to add `AGENT_TOOLSDIRECTORY=/opt/hostedtoolcache`. This ensures the variable is always set if your runner is configured as a service.
-- Create a directory called `hostedtoolcache` inside `/opt`.
-- The user starting the runner must have write permission to the `/opt/hostedtoolcache` directory. It is not possible to start the Linux runner with `sudo` and the `/opt` directory usually requires root privileges to write to. Check the current user and group that the runner belongs to by typing `ls -l` inside the runners root directory.
-- The runner can be granted write access to the `/opt/hostedtoolcache` directory using a few techniques:
- - The user starting the runner is the owner, and the owner has write permission.
- - The user starting the runner is in the owning group, and the owning group has write permission.
- - All users have write permission.
-- One quick way to grant access is to change the user and group of `/opt/hostedtoolcache` to be the same as the runners using `chown`.
- - `sudo chown runner-user:runner-group /opt/hostedtoolcache/`.
-- If your runner is configured as a service and you run into problems, make sure the user that the service is running as is correct. For more information, you can [check the status of your self-hosted runner](https://help.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/configuring-the-self-hosted-runner-application-as-a-service#checking-the-status-of-the-service).
-
-### Mac
-
-- The same setup that applies to `Linux` also applies to `Mac`, just with a different tools cache directory.
-- Create a directory called `/Users/runner/hostedtoolcache`.
-- Set the `AGENT_TOOLSDIRECTORY` environment variable to `/Users/runner/hostedtoolcache`.
-- Change the permissions of `/Users/runner/hostedtoolcache` so that the runner has write access.

-# Using Python without `setup-python`
-
-`setup-python` helps keep your dependencies explicit and ensures consistent behavior between different runners. If you use `python` in a shell on a GitHub hosted runner without `setup-python` it will default to whatever is in PATH. The default version of Python in PATH vary between runners and can change unexpectedly so we recommend you always use `setup-python`.
-
-# Using `setup-python` on GHES
-
-`setup-python` comes pre-installed on the appliance with GHES if Actions is enabled. When dynamically downloading Python distributions, `setup-python` downloads distributions from [`actions/python-versions`](https://github.com/actions/python-versions) on github.com (outside of the appliance). These calls to `actions/python-versions` are made via unauthenticated requests, which are limited to [60 requests per hour per IP](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#rate-limiting).

+# Using python-version input
+
+The `python-version` input is used to specify the required version of Python or PyPy.
+
+## Specifying a Python version
+
+If there is a specific version of Python that you need and you don't want to worry about any potential breaking changes due to patch updates (going from `3.7.5` to `3.7.6` for example), you should specify the **exact major, minor, and patch version** (such as `3.7.5`):
+
+ ```yaml
+steps:
+- uses: actions/checkout@v3
+- uses: actions/setup-python@v4
+ with:
+ python-version: '3.7.5'
+- run: python my_script.py
+```
+ - The only downside to this is that set up will take a little longer since the exact version will have to be downloaded if the exact version is not already installed on the runner due to more recent versions.
+ - MSI installers are used on Windows for this, so runs will take a little longer to set up vs MacOS and Linux.
+
+You should specify **only a major and minor version** if you are okay with the most recent patch version being used:
+
+ ```yaml
+steps:
+- uses: actions/checkout@v3
+- uses: actions/setup-python@v4
+ with:
+ python-version: '3.7'
+- run: python my_script.py
+```
+ - There will be a single patch version already installed on each runner for every minor version of Python that is supported.
+ - The patch version that will be preinstalled, will generally be the latest and every time there is a new patch released, the older version that is preinstalled will be replaced.
+ - Using the most recent patch version will result in a very quick setup since no downloads will be required since a locally installed version Python on the runner will be used.
+
+You can specify version with **prerelease tag** to download and set up an accurate pre-release version of Python:
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+- uses: actions/checkout@v3
+- uses: actions/setup-python@v4
+ with:
+ python-version: '3.11.0-alpha.1'
+- run: python my_script.py
+```
+
+It's also possible to use **x.y-dev syntax** to download and set up the latest patch version of Python, alpha and beta releases included. (for specified major & minor versions):
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+- uses: actions/checkout@v3
+- uses: actions/setup-python@v4
+ with:
+ python-version: '3.11-dev'
+- run: python my_script.py
+```
+
+You can also use several types of ranges that are specified in [Semantic Versioning Specification](https://github.com/npm/node-semver#ranges), for instance:
+
+- **[hyphen ranges](https://github.com/npm/node-semver#hyphen-ranges-xyz---abc)** to download and set up the latest available version of Python (includes both pre-release and stable versions):
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+- uses: actions/checkout@v3
+- uses: actions/setup-python@v4
+ with:
+ python-version: '3.11.0-alpha - 3.11.0'
+- run: python my_script.py
+```
+
+- **[x-ranges](https://github.com/npm/node-semver#x-ranges-12x-1x-12-)** to specify the latest stable version of Python (for specified major version):
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+- uses: actions/checkout@v3
+- uses: actions/setup-python@v4
+ with:
+ python-version: '3.x'
+- run: python my_script.py
+```
+Please refer to the [Advanced range syntax section](https://github.com/npm/node-semver#advanced-range-syntax) of the [Semantic Versioning Specification](https://github.com/npm/node-semver) to check other available range syntaxes.
+
+## Specifying a PyPy version
+The version of PyPy should be specified in the format `pypy[-v]` or `pypy-[-v]`.
+The `-v` parameter is optional and can be skipped. The latest PyPy version will be used in this case.
+
+```
+pypy3.7 or pypy-3.7 # the latest available version of PyPy that supports Python 3.7
+pypy3.8 or pypy-3.8 # the latest available version of PyPy that supports Python 3.8
+pypy2.7 or pypy-2.7 # the latest available version of PyPy that supports Python 2.7
+pypy3.7-v7.3.3 or pypy-3.7-v7.3.3 # Python 3.7 and PyPy 7.3.3
+pypy3.7-v7.x or pypy-3.7-v7.x # Python 3.7 and the latest available PyPy 7.x
+pypy3.7-v7.3.3rc1 or pypy-3.7-v7.3.3rc1 # Python 3.7 and preview version of PyPy
+pypy3.7-nightly or pypy-3.7-nightly # Python 3.7 and nightly PyPy
+```
+
+Download and set up PyPy:
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+ build:
+ runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+ strategy:
+ matrix:
+ python-version:
+ - 'pypy3.7' # the latest available version of PyPy that supports Python 3.7
+ - 'pypy3.7-v7.3.3' # Python 3.7 and PyPy 7.3.3
+ - 'pypy3.8' # the latest available version of PyPy that supports Python 3.8
+ steps:
+ - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+ - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
+ with:
+ python-version: ${{ matrix.python-version }}
+ - run: python my_script.py
+```
+More details on PyPy syntax and examples of using preview / nightly versions of PyPy can be found in the [Available versions of PyPy](#pypy) section.
+
+## Matrix Testing
+
+Using `setup-python` it's possible to use [matrix syntax](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idstrategymatrix) to install several versions of Python/PyPy:
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+ build:
+ runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+ strategy:
+ matrix:
+ python-version: [ '2.x', '3.x', 'pypy2.7', 'pypy3.7', 'pypy3.8' ]
+ name: Python ${{ matrix.python-version }} sample
+ steps:
+ - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+ - name: Set up Python
+ uses: actions/setup-python@v4
+ with:
+ python-version: ${{ matrix.python-version }}
+ architecture: x64
+ - run: python my_script.py
+```
+
+Exclude a specific Python version:
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+ build:
+ runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
+ strategy:
+ matrix:
+ os: [ubuntu-latest, macos-latest, windows-latest]
+ python-version: ['2.7', '3.7', '3.8', '3.9', '3.10', 'pypy2.7', 'pypy3.8']
+ exclude:
+ - os: macos-latest
+ python-version: '3.8'
+ - os: windows-latest
+ python-version: '3.6'
+ steps:
+ - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+ - name: Set up Python
+ uses: actions/setup-python@v4
+ with:
+ python-version: ${{ matrix.python-version }}
+ - name: Display Python version
+ run: python --version
+```
+
+# Using python-version-file input
+
+`setup-python` action has ability to read Python/PyPy version from a version file. `python-version-file` input is used for specifying path to the version file. If version file at the specified path doesn't exist action will try to find `.python-version` file implying that it as a default type of version files. If `.python-version` file doesn't exist also, action will fail with error.
+
+>In case both `python-version` and `python-version-file` inputs are supplied, `python-version-file` input will be ignored due to its lower priority.
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+- uses: actions/checkout@v3
+- uses: actions/setup-python@v4
+ with:
+ python-version-file: '.python-version' # Read python version from a file .python-version
+- run: python my_script.py
+```
+# Check latest version
+
+The `check-latest` flag defaults to `false`. Use the default or set `check-latest` to `false` if you prefer stability and if you want to ensure a specific `Python/PyPy` version is always used.
+
+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, a `Python/PyPy` version will then be downloaded. Set `check-latest` to `true` if you want the most up-to-date `Python/PyPy` version to always be used.
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+ - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+ - uses: actions/setup-python@v3
+ with:
+ python-version: '3.7'
+ check-latest: true
+ - run: python my_script.py
+```
+> Setting `check-latest` to `true` has performance implications as downloading `Python/PyPy` versions is slower than using cached versions.
+
+
+# Caching packages data
+
+**Caching pipenv dependencies:**
+```yaml
+steps:
+- uses: actions/checkout@v3
+- uses: actions/setup-python@v4
+ with:
+ python-version: '3.9'
+ cache: 'pipenv'
+- name: Install pipenv
+ run: curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pypa/pipenv/master/get-pipenv.py | python
+- run: pipenv install
+```
+
+**Caching poetry dependencies:**
+```yaml
+steps:
+- uses: actions/checkout@v3
+- name: Install poetry
+ run: pipx install poetry
+- uses: actions/setup-python@v4
+ with:
+ python-version: '3.9'
+ cache: 'poetry'
+- run: poetry install
+- run: poetry run pytest
+```
+**Using wildcard patterns to cache dependencies**
+```yaml

+# Environment variables and action's outputs
+
+## Action's outputs
+
+### `python-version`
+
+Using **python-version** output it's possible to get the installed by action python's version. This output is useful when the input `python-version` given as a range (e.g. 3.8.0 - 3.10.0 ), but down in a workflow you need to operate with exact installed version (e.g. 3.10.1).
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+ build:
+ runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+ steps:
+ - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+ - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
+ id: cp310
+ with:
+ python-version: "3.8.0 - 3.10.0"
+ - run: echo '${{ steps.cp310.outputs.python-version }}'
+```
+
+### `python-path`
+
+**python-path** output is available with the absolute path of the python interpreter executable if you need it:
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+ build:
+ runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+ steps:
+ - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+ - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
+ id: cp310
+ with:
+ python-version: "3.10"
+ - run: pipx run --python '${{ steps.cp310.outputs.python-path }}' nox --version
+```
+
+## Evironment variables
+
+These environment variables become available after setup-python action execution:
+
+| Env.Variable | Description |
+| ----------- | ----------- |
+| pythonLocation |Contains the absolute path to the folder where the requested version of Python or PyPy is installed|
+| Python_ROOT_DIR | https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindPython.html#module:FindPython |
+| Python2_ROOT_DIR |https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindPython2.html#module:FindPython2|
+| Python3_ROOT_DIR |https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindPython2.html#module:FindPython3|
+
+## Using `update-environment` flag
+
+The `update-environment` flag defaults to `true`.
+With this setting, the action will add/update environment variables (e.g. `PATH`, `PKG_CONFIG_PATH`, `pythonLocation`) for `python` to just work out of the box.
+
+If `update-environment` is set to `false`, the action will not add/update environment variables.
+This can prove useful if you want the only side-effect to be to ensure python is installed and rely on the `python-path` output to run python.
+Such a requirement on side-effect could be because you don't want your composite action messing with your user's workflows.
+
+```yaml
+ steps:
+ - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+ - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
+ id: cp310
+ with:
+ python-version: '3.10'
+ update-environment: false
+ - run: ${{ steps.cp310.outputs.python-path }} my_script.py
+```
+# Available versions of Python and PyPy
+## Python
+
+`setup-python` is able to configure **Python** from two sources:
+
+- Preinstalled versions of Python in the toolcache on GitHub-hosted runners.
+ - For detailed information regarding the available versions of Python that are installed, see [Supported software](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/specifications-for-github-hosted-runners#supported-software).
+ - For every minor version of Python, expect only the latest patch to be preinstalled.
+ - If `3.8.1` is installed for example, and `3.8.2` is released, expect `3.8.1` to be removed and replaced by `3.8.2` in the tools cache.
+ - If the exact patch version doesn't matter to you, specifying just the major and minor version will get you the latest preinstalled patch version. In the previous example, the version spec `3.8` will use the `3.8.2` Python version found in the cache.
+ - Use `-dev` instead of a patch number (e.g., `3.11-dev`) to install the latest patch version release for a given minor version, *alpha and beta releases included*.
+- Downloadable Python versions from GitHub Releases ([actions/python-versions](https://github.com/actions/python-versions/releases)).
+ - All available versions are listed in the [version-manifest.json](https://github.com/actions/python-versions/blob/main/versions-manifest.json) file.
+ - If there is a specific version of Python that is not available, you can open an issue here
+
+>**Note:** Python versions used in this action are generated in the [python-versions](https://github.com/actions/python-versions) repository. For macOS and Ubuntu images python versions are built from the source code. For Windows the python-versions repository uses installation executable. For more information please refer to the [python-versions](https://github.com/actions/python-versions) repository.
+
+## PyPy
+
+ `setup-python` is able to configure **PyPy** from two sources:
+
+- Preinstalled versions of PyPy in the tools cache on GitHub-hosted runners
+ - For detailed information regarding the available versions of PyPy that are installed, see [Supported software](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/specifications-for-github-hosted-runners#supported-software).
+ - For the latest PyPy release, all versions of Python are cached.
+ - Cache is updated with a 1-2 week delay. If you specify the PyPy version as `pypy3.7` or `pypy-3.7`, the cached version will be used although a newer version is available. If you need to start using the recently released version right after release, you should specify the exact PyPy version using `pypy3.7-v7.3.3` or `pypy-3.7-v7.3.3`.
+
+- Downloadable PyPy versions from the [official PyPy site](https://downloads.python.org/pypy/).
+ - All available versions that we can download are listed in [versions.json](https://downloads.python.org/pypy/versions.json) file.
+ - PyPy < 7.3.3 are not available to install on-flight.
+ - If some versions are not available, you can open an issue in https://foss.heptapod.net/pypy/pypy/
+
+# Hosted Tool Cache
+
+GitHub hosted runners have a tool cache that comes with a few versions of Python + PyPy already installed. This tool cache helps speed up runs and tool setup by not requiring any new downloads. There is an environment variable called `RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE` on each runner that describes the location of this tools cache and there is where you will find Python and PyPy installed. `setup-python` works by taking a specific version of Python or PyPy in this tools cache and adding it to PATH.
+
+|| Location |
+|------|-------|
+|**Tool Cache Directory** |`RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE`|
+|**Python Tool Cache**|`RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE/Python/*`|
+|**PyPy Tool Cache**|`RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE/PyPy/*`|
+
+GitHub virtual environments are set up in [actions/virtual-environments](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments). During the setup, the available versions of Python and PyPy are automatically downloaded, set up and documented.
+- Tool cache setup for Ubuntu: [Install-Toolset.ps1](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/main/images/linux/scripts/installers/Install-Toolset.ps1) [Configure-Toolset.ps1](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/main/images/linux/scripts/installers/Configure-Toolset.ps1)
+- Tool cache setup for Windows: [Install-Toolset.ps1](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/main/images/win/scripts/Installers/Install-Toolset.ps1) [Configure-Toolset.ps1](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/main/images/win/scripts/Installers/Configure-Toolset.ps1)

+
+# Using `setup-python` with a self hosted runner
+
+Python distributions are only available for the same [environments](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments#available-environments) that GitHub Actions hosted environments are available for. If you are using an unsupported version of Ubuntu such as `19.04` or another Linux distribution such as Fedora, `setup-python` will not work. If you have a supported self-hosted runner and you would like to use `setup-python`, there are a few extra things you need to make sure are set up so that new versions of Python can be downloaded and configured on your runner.
+
+If you are experiencing problems while configuring Python on your self-hosted runner, turn on [step debugging](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/main/docs/action-debugging.md#step-debug-logs) to see addition logs.
+
+### Windows
+
+- Your runner needs to be running with administrator privileges so that the appropriate directories and files can be set up when downloading and installing a new version of Python for the first time.
+- If your runner is configured as a service, make sure the account that is running the service has the appropriate write permissions so that Python can get installed. The default `NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE` should be sufficient.
+- You need `7zip` installed and added to your `PATH` so that the downloaded versions of Python files can be extracted properly during first-time setup.
+- MSI installers are used when setting up Python on Windows. A word of caution as MSI installers update registry settings.
+- The 3.8 MSI installer for Windows will not let you install another 3.8 version of Python. If `setup-python` fails for a 3.8 version of Python, make sure any previously installed versions are removed by going to "Apps & Features" in the Settings app.
+
+### Linux
+
+- The Python packages that are downloaded from `actions/python-versions` are originally compiled from source in `/opt/hostedtoolcache/` with the [--enable-shared](https://github.com/actions/python-versions/blob/94f04ae6806c6633c82db94c6406a16e17decd5c/builders/ubuntu-python-builder.psm1#L35) flag, which makes them non-relocatable.
+- By default runner downloads and install the tools to `/opt/hostedtoolcache`. The environment variable called `AGENT_TOOLSDIRECTORY` can be set to change this location.
+ - In the same shell that your runner is using, type `export AGENT_TOOLSDIRECTORY=/opt/hostedtoolcache`.
+ - A more permanent way of setting the environment variable is to create a `.env` file in the same directory as your runner and to add `AGENT_TOOLSDIRECTORY=/opt/hostedtoolcache`. This ensures the variable is always set if your runner is configured as a service.
+- Create a directory called `hostedtoolcache` inside `/opt`.
+- The user starting the runner must have write permission to the `/opt/hostedtoolcache` directory. It is not possible to start the Linux runner with `sudo` and the `/opt` directory usually requires root privileges to write to. Check the current user and group that the runner belongs to by typing `ls -l` inside the runners root directory.
+- The runner can be granted write access to the `/opt/hostedtoolcache` directory using a few techniques:
+ - The user starting the runner is the owner, and the owner has write permission.
+ - The user starting the runner is in the owning group, and the owning group has write permission.
+ - All users have write permission.
+- One quick way to grant access is to change the user and group of `/opt/hostedtoolcache` to be the same as the runners using `chown`.
+ - `sudo chown runner-user:runner-group /opt/hostedtoolcache/`.
+- If your runner is configured as a service and you run into problems, make sure the user that the service is running as is correct. For more information, you can [check the status of your self-hosted runner](https://help.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/configuring-the-self-hosted-runner-application-as-a-service#checking-the-status-of-the-service).
+
+### MacOS
+
+- The same setup that applies to `Linux` also applies to `MacOS`, just with a different tools cache directory.
+- Create a directory called `/Users/runner/hostedtoolcache`.
+- Set the `AGENT_TOOLSDIRECTORY` environment variable to `/Users/runner/hostedtoolcache`.
+- Change the permissions of `/Users/runner/hostedtoolcache` so that the runner has write access.
+
+# Using `setup-python` on GHES
+
+`setup-python` comes pre-installed on the appliance with GHES if Actions is enabled. When dynamically downloading Python distributions, `setup-python` downloads distributions from [`actions/python-versions`](https://github.com/actions/python-versions) on github.com (outside of the appliance). These calls to `actions/python-versions` are made via unauthenticated requests, which are limited to [60 requests per hour per IP](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#rate-limiting). If more requests are made within the time frame, then you will start to see rate-limit errors during download that read `##[error]API rate limit exceeded for...`.
+
+To avoid hitting rate-limit problems, we recommend [setting up your own runner tool cache](https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-server@2.22/admin/github-actions/managing-access-to-actions-from-githubcom/setting-up-the-tool-cache-on-self-hosted-runners-without-internet-access#about-the-included-setup-actions-and-the-runner-tool-cache).

# Using `setup-python` on GHES
`setup-python` comes pre-installed on the appliance with GHES if Actions is enabled. When dynamically downloading Python distributions, `setup-python` downloads distributions from [`actions/python-versions`](https://github.com/actions/python-versions) on github.com (outside of the appliance). These calls to `actions/python-versions` are made via unauthenticated requests, which are limited to [60 requests per hour per IP](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#rate-limiting). If more requests are made within the time frame, then you will start to see rate-limit errors during download that read `##[error]API rate limit exceeded for...`.

-# Getting started with Python + Actions
-
-Check out our detailed guide on using [Python with GitHub Actions](https://help.github.com/en/actions/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/using-python-with-github-actions).
-
-# Available versions of Python
-
-`setup-python` is able to configure Python from two sources:
-
-- Preinstalled versions of Python in the tools cache on GitHub-hosted runners.
- - For detailed information regarding the available versions of Python that are installed, see [Supported software](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/specifications-for-github-hosted-runners#supported-software).
- - For every minor version of Python, expect only the latest patch to be preinstalled.
- - If `3.8.1` is installed for example, and `3.8.2` is released, expect `3.8.1` to be removed and replaced by `3.8.2` in the tools cache.
- - If the exact patch version doesn't matter to you, specifying just the major and minor version will get you the latest preinstalled patch version. In the previous example, the version spec `3.8` will use the `3.8.2` Python version found in the cache.
- - Use `-dev` instead of a patch number (e.g., `3.11-dev`) to install the latest patch version release for a given minor version, *alpha and beta releases included*.
-- Downloadable Python versions from GitHub Releases ([actions/python-versions](https://github.com/actions/python-versions/releases)).
- - All available versions are listed in the [version-manifest.json](https://github.com/actions/python-versions/blob/main/versions-manifest.json) file.
- - If there is a specific version of Python that is not available, you can open an issue here
-
-**Note:** Python versions used in this action are generated in the [python-versions](https://github.com/actions/python-versions) repository. For macOS and Ubuntu images python versions are built from the source code. For Windows the python-versions repository uses installation executable. For more information please refer to the [python-versions](https://github.com/actions/python-versions) repository.
-
- # Available versions of PyPy
-
- `setup-python` is able to configure PyPy from two sources:
-
-- Preinstalled versions of PyPy in the tools cache on GitHub-hosted runners
- - For detailed information regarding the available versions of PyPy that are installed, see [Supported software](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/specifications-for-github-hosted-runners#supported-software).
- - For the latest PyPy release, all versions of Python are cached.
- - Cache is updated with a 1-2 week delay. If you specify the PyPy version as `pypy3.7` or `pypy-3.7`, the cached version will be used although a newer version is available. If you need to start using the recently released version right after release, you should specify the exact PyPy version using `pypy3.7-v7.3.3` or `pypy-3.7-v7.3.3`.
-
-- Downloadable PyPy versions from the [official PyPy site](https://downloads.python.org/pypy/).
- - All available versions that we can download are listed in [versions.json](https://downloads.python.org/pypy/versions.json) file.
- - PyPy < 7.3.3 are not available to install on-flight.
- - If some versions are not available, you can open an issue in https://foss.heptapod.net/pypy/pypy/
-
-# Hosted Tool Cache
-
-GitHub hosted runners have a tools cache that comes with a few versions of Python + PyPy already installed. This tools cache helps speed up runs and tool setup by not requiring any new downloads. There is an environment variable called `RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE` on each runner that describes the location of this tools cache and there is where you will find Python and PyPy installed. `setup-python` works by taking a specific version of Python or PyPy in this tools cache and adding it to PATH.
-
-|| Location |
-|------|-------|
-|**Tool Cache Directory** |`RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE`|
-|**Python Tool Cache**|`RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE/Python/*`|
-|**PyPy Tool Cache**|`RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE/PyPy/*`|
-
-GitHub virtual environments are setup in [actions/virtual-environments](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments). During the setup, the available versions of Python and PyPy are automatically downloaded, setup and documented.
-- Tools cache setup for Ubuntu: [Install-Toolset.ps1](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/main/images/linux/scripts/installers/Install-Toolset.ps1) [Configure-Toolset.ps1](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/main/images/linux/scripts/installers/Configure-Toolset.ps1)

-# Specifying a Python version
-
-If there is a specific version of Python that you need and you don't want to worry about any potential breaking changes due to patch updates (going from `3.7.5` to `3.7.6` for example), you should specify the exact major, minor, and patch version (such as `3.7.5`)
- - The only downside to this is that set up will take a little longer since the exact version will have to be downloaded if the exact version is not already installed on the runner due to more recent versions.
- - MSI installers are used on Windows for this, so runs will take a little longer to set up vs Mac and Linux.
-
-You should specify only a major and minor version if you are okay with the most recent patch version being used.
- - There will be a single patch version already installed on each runner for every minor version of Python that is supported.
- - The patch version that will be preinstalled, will generally be the latest and every time there is a new patch released, the older version that is preinstalled will be replaced.
- - Using the most recent patch version will result in a very quick setup since no downloads will be required since a locally installed version Python on the runner will be used.
-
-# Specifying a PyPy version
-The version of PyPy should be specified in the format `pypy[-v]` or `pypy-[-v]`.
-The `` parameter is optional and can be skipped. The latest version will be used in this case.
-
-```

-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, a `Python/PyPy` version will then be downloaded. Set `check-latest` to `true` if you want the most up-to-date `Python/PyPy` version to always be used.
