Versioned executables (e.g., python3.13.exe) missing on Windows

Open Rongronggg9 opened this issue 9 months ago • 4 comments

Description: Versioned executables (e.g., python3.13.exe) are not installed on Windows while python313.dll, python-3.13.2-amd64.exe, and pip3.13.exe are installed. However, this is not the case on Linux or macOS, where versioned executables (or symlinks) are always present. This is inconvenient when using multiple versions at once.

Action version: v5

Platform:

  • [ ] Ubuntu
  • [ ] macOS
  • [x] Windows

Runner type:

  • [x] Hosted
  • [ ] Self-hosted

Tools version: I tested 3.9 and 3.13.

Repro steps:

      - name: Set up Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v5
        with:
          python-version: |
            3.9
            3.13

Expected behavior: Versioned executables (or symlinks) are present on all platforms.

Actual behavior: Versioned executables (or symlinks) are missing on Windows.
