Duplicate of #328?

Does actions/setup-python@v2.3.2 work?

[aaltat]

Well, could be duplicate. Although my problems happens in setup phase.

But using actions/setup-python@v2.3.2 fixes the problem, thank you.

Do I need to always keep updating the version? Because I tough that using actions/setup-python@v2 would always give me latest and greatest version.

Hello @aaltat. The tag v2 should be updated. Could you please confirm, that everything works as expected ?

[aaltat]

Yes, now it works. Thank you.
