This manifested as a failure to find `Python.h` while building the native dependencies of `python-ldap`.  Somehow, the installation procedure of `python-ldap` knew to put `-I/opt/hostedtoolcache/Python/3.8.10/x64/include/python3.8` on the command line, but there was nothing in the `/opt/hostedtoolcache` folder.  I'm currently working around this by setting the `AGENT_TOOLSDIRECTORY` environment variable to `/opt/hostedtoolcache` in my workflow.\r\n\r\n**Action version:**\r\nb55428b1882923874294fa556849718a1d7f2ca5\r\n\r\n**Platform:**\r\n- [x] Ubuntu\r\n- [ ] macOS\r\n- [ ] Windows\r\n\r\n**Runner type:**\r\n- [ ] Hosted\r\n- [x] Self-hosted\r\n\r\n**Tools version:**\r\n3.8.10\r\n\r\n**Repro steps:**  \r\n```\r\n      - name: Install Python 3.8.10\r\n        uses: actions/setup-python@b55428b1882923874294fa556849718a1d7f2ca5\r\n        with:\r\n          python-version: '3.8.10'\r\n```\r\n\r\n**Expected behavior:**\r\nI would expect this to install Python to `/opt/hostedtoolcache` like it previously did.\r\n\r\n**Actual behavior:**\r\nIt now installs Python to `.../_work/_tool` within the job's workspace.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/dcharles-godaddy","@type":"Person","name":"dcharles-godaddy"},"datePublished":"2022-08-23T04:36:31Z","url":"https://github.com/actions/setup-python/issues/485"}
