@mattjohnsonpint Hmm... Allegedly you can use it with anything in this list: https://github.com/actions/python-versions/blob/main/versions-manifest.json

But it doesn't seem to be working, at least for 2.7 and 3.6: https://github.com/python/tzdata/actions/runs/3585907944/jobs/6034467045

They aren't very clear about how to specify it in this README: https://github.com/actions/setup-python/blob/main/docs/advanced-usage.md#available-versions-of-python-and-pypy

#python #github

@pganssle Strange. It is in that list:
https://github.com/actions/python-versions/blob/1248039d12862a7366cb1d398ad90d52116c6342/versions-manifest.json#L4337-L4343

@pganssle Oh - I see the problem. `ubuntu-latest` has been promoted to 22.04, which doesn't have those older Python versions in the list. Try switching to `ubuntu-20.04`

https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/6399

@pganssle Alternatively you could stay on `ubuntu-latest` and instead of using the setup-python action you could script out `sudo apt install python2`

@mattjohnsonpint Yeah, Hynek figured it out in a parallel reply: https://mastodon.social/@hynek/109434203897348469

So now the Windows + Python users of northern Mexico can have more accurate time zones today. If they update their Python packages. 😅

@hynek @pganssle indeed, that is what I do, too

@jugmac00 @hynek Ah, there we go, that was very unclear to me! Thanks!

@pganssle @jugmac00 @hynek Officially announced today as well:
