Tool installation time in runtime
Probably the same as other Python versions.
Are you willing to submit a PR?
I wouldn't know how, but would be open to learn what I'd need to do.

Hi! We'll take a look.
@parafoxia
We will add these changes in our images when this minor branch becomes stable but not preview or beta. Until then, only installation in runtime will be available.
I'm a bit confused -- is Python 3.12 support only planned upon the release of final? This would be for the python-versions action btw, not preinstallation of the OS images. Apologies if I wasn't clear on that.
@parafoxia it is okay. Feel free to ask anything.
About our case. We will add Python 3.12 directly to the runner images only after it becomes an active official release according to the software support policy or in case if it becomes very popular. Until then, you can install in runtime the version, which one is in work right now according to that issue, by using setup-python action, or choose another path that suits you.
If you started this task in order for the actions team to add the latest version to the python-version, then generally this is exactly what will happen.
Okay awesome, thanks for the clarification! This sounds great -- I use the setup-python action generally to test compatibility with different versions, so yeah this issue was mainly for that. I'll update the issue description with that info. I look forward to the release!
Here's the tracking issue for 3.12-dev in actions/setup-python:
Was also (miss-)guided here from https://github.com/actions/python-versions :
Please open an issue in actions/virtual-environments if any versions are missing.
( The link auto-translates to https://github.com/actions/runner-images )
That Readme link should perhaps be changed to https://github.com/actions/setup-python/issues
(Or added regarding beta & preview versions / setup-python)
