@nedbat Oh, that's a nice method, it felt a little odd doing an exclude then include

@hugovk I also like having the title of the step say "windows" instead of "windows-latest".

@nedbat GitHub has now added 3.8 and 3.9 to macos-latest:

@hugovk ugh, i just did the latest/13 hack on the cog repo....

@hugovk Is there a page that will reliably tell me in the future what versions of Python are available on what versions of macOS?

hugovk, 1 month ago

@nedbat Yes, there's a version-manifest.json at https://github.com/actions/setup-python/blob/main/docs/advanced-usage.md#available-versions-of-python-pypy-and-graalpy

But the problem here is GitHub originally planned not to include 3.8 and 3.9 in macos-14. People requested them months ago.

However, this week they flipped macos-latest from macos-13 to macos-14 and only after getting more feedback changed their plans to include them.

@hugovk Maybe I don't know how to read it: It says "darwin" without a version number?

@nedbat Hmm, before https://github.com/actions/python-versions/blob/3545308dfe455fc60ca933830a35171e2bdd5900/versions-manifest.json had:

python-3.8.10-darwin-x64.tar.gz

Now, https://github.com/actions/python-versions/blob/main/versions-manifest.json has:

python-3.8.10-darwin-arm64.tar.gz
python-3.8.10-darwin-x64.tar.gz
