The script in question starts as follows:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import binascii
import sys
import sslcrypto
from colors import color

From what I understand, the above #!/usr/bin/env python3 is the preferred way to load up the current python interpreter. However, I'm not very knowledgable about how this GH Action installs, and have very limited exposure to MacOS.

Can you help me understand how your python installation Action "should" work, when the modules the action installs are later expected to be imported in python scripts?

e.g., do you setup and activate a named virtual environment, and if so, why doesn't it apply to the other steps?
