I think UV scripts can/will actually install python and manage it itself as well and you can actually pin a specific version of python itself via Uv scripts

I copied this from their website (https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/scripts/#declaring-script-d...)

uv also respects Python version requirements: example.py

# /// script # requires-python = ">=3.12" # dependencies = [] # ///

# Use some syntax added in Python 3.12 type Point = tuple[float, float] print(Point)

> Using Python/UV to do anything more complex than my example PR above?

I can agree that this might be complex but that complexity has a trade off and of course nothing is shoe fits all but there are times when someone has to manage a complex CI environment and I looked at and there are some CI deterministic options too like invoke etc. and when you combine all of these, I feel like the workflow can definitely be interesting to say the least

Once again, I don't know what really ends up in github actions since I have never really used it properly, I am basing its critiques based on what I've read and what solutions (python came quite frequently) and something recently which I discovered (which was the blog)
