Worth noting Python 3.7 is the first Python that's attempted, and the rest are skipped when that fails. So the problem may not be 3.7 specific.

I had the same problem in python 3.7, so I upgraded python to 3.8. It worked

It's very disappointing that no one from GitHub Actions support fixed this issue immediately. (cc @kajweb ,@konradpabjan )
Currently we remove Python 3.7 from our project support due to it. PR

I have just started having the same issue in my actions that are using python 3.8.12 (Version 3.8.12 was not found in the local cache) - i can see it still exists in the versions manifest, so not sure why this is erroring

[rjt-moonpay]

i just realised my job was running on ubuntu-latest (24.04). I've fixed the Ubuntu version to 22.04 and this has resolved the issue. Looking at the versions manifest there is no version available for 24.04

Hello Everyone, The Python 3.7 version is not available for Ubuntu 24.04 x64, which is why you are encountering this problem. This version is also not available for the available packages from source in the runner tool cache because it reached its End of Life (EOL) last year. We recommend using the latest versions of Python to avoid such issues. Please find the screenshots for reference.
Please feel free to reach us if any further clarifications needed.

Unfortunately, some projects can't upgrade from 3.7. As a fix we changed from ubuntu-latest to ubuntu-22.04.
