In our workflow we use the `python-version` output to calculate a custom cache key. This breaks if the output for different minor version is the same. PyPy itself uses a combination of python version and internal version to identify each release.\n\n| PyPy file name [^1] | `python-version` output | expected output |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| pypy3.10-v7.3.19-... | pypy7.3.19 | pypy3.10.16-7.3.19 |\n| pypy3.11-v7.3.19-... | pypy7.3.19 | pypy3.11.11-7.3.19 |\n\nhttps://github.com/actions/setup-python/blob/a26af69be951a213d495a4c3e4e4022e16d87065/src/find-pypy.ts#L99\n\nIt would be great if the output could be adjusted to include the python version as well. For it's own caching key, the action already uses a combine version identifier.\n\nhttps://github.com/actions/setup-python/blob/a26af69be951a213d495a4c3e4e4022e16d87065/src/setup-python.ts#L111\n\n--\nAFAICT this also affects `graalpy`. In that case it isn't an issue though as a particular release only supports one minor python version.\n\n**Expected behavior:**\nThe `python-version` output for PyPy contains both the fully resolved python version as well as the resolved PyPy version. E.g.\n```ts\n`pypy${resolvedPythonVersion}-${resolvedPyPyVersion}`\n```\n\n**Actual behavior:**\n```ts\n'pypy' + resolvedPyPyVersion\n```\n\n**Action version:**\nv5.6.0\n\n**Platform:**\n- [x] Ubuntu\n- [x] macOS\n- [x] Windows\n\n**Runner type:**\n- [x] Hosted\n- [ ] Self-hosted\n\n**Tools version:**\nPyPy\n\n**Repro steps:**  \n```yaml\n  tests:\n    name: \"Test ${{ matrix.python-version }}\"\n    strategy:\n      matrix:\n        python-version: [\"3.10\", \"3.11\", \"3.12\", \"pypy-3.10\", \"pypy-3.11\"]\n    runs-on: ubuntu-latest\n    steps:\n      - name: Check out code from GitHub\n        uses: actions/checkout@v4.2.2\n      - name: Set up Python ${{ matrix.python-version }}\n        id: python\n        uses: actions/setup-python@v5.6.0\n        with:\n          python-version: ${{ matrix.python-version }}\n          check-latest: true\n      - run: echo \"${{ steps.python.outputs.python-version }}\"\n      - name: Restore Python venv\n        id: cache-venv\n        uses: actions/cache@v4.2.3\n        with:\n          path: venv\n          key: \u003e-\n            ${{ runner.os }}-${{ runner.arch }}-${{ steps.python.outputs.python-version\n            }}-${{ hashFiles('pyproject.toml', 'requirements_test.txt') }}\n      - name: Create Python venv\n        if: steps.cache-venv.outputs.cache-hit != 'true'\n        run: |\n          python -m venv venv\n          . venv/bin/activate\n          pip install -r requirements_test.txt\n          pip install .\n      - name: Run pytest\n        run: |\n          . venv/bin/activate\n          pip install . --no-deps\n          pytest tests/\n```\n\n[^1]: https://downloads.python.org/pypy/versions.json","author":{"url":"https://github.com/cdce8p","@type":"Person","name":"cdce8p"},"datePublished":"2025-05-17T19:14:44.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/1109/setup-python/issues/1109"}
