setup-python is a GitHub Action that installs and configures specific versions of Python, PyPy, or GraalPy interpreters in CI/CD workflows. It solves the problem of inconsistent Python environments across runners by providing precise version control, architecture selection, and built-in dependency caching. The action ensures reproducible builds and reduces setup time by managing interpreter installation and package manager caches automatically.
