Pull request overview
This pull request removes the pip-install input from actions/setup-python, eliminating the built-in dependency installation behavior that installed into the runner’s global Python environment (and could conflict with venv/uv workflows and dependency audit tooling).
Changes:
- Removed the
pip-installimplementation and its usage from the action runtime (src/setup-python.ts) and regenerated the bundled output (dist/setup/index.js). - Removed the
pip-installinput definition fromaction.yml. - Removed documentation references/section and deleted E2E workflow jobs that exercised the
pip-installpath.

Description:
This PR removes the
pip-installinput added in v6.1.0 (#1201). The input was meant to make installing dependencies easier, but in practice it installs packages into the global Python environment on the runner, which can cause unexpected behaviour with virtual environments and tools likeuv, and the inline dependencies aren't picked up by tools like Dependabot.Related issue:
#1251
