It seems that pip is not included in ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest?

[gingerhot]

There is an error when I call pip or pip3, I think this might be installed in the image. Or I made some mistakes?
Thanks in advance.

[catthehacker]

Only python is installed

Thank you for rapid response!
Would you like to add it? I think it should be included in this medium size image for convenience.

Will check later if it isn't super big, then I can add it

Seconding this. pip and venv are centerpieces of the python ecosystem, and having them available by default would make it much more convenient to test python workflows in act. They consume roughly 5MB with --no-install-recommends.

It's probably also worth including pipx since the setup-python action references it in two of their demos.

For reference, apt-get on Ubuntu 20.04 reports python3-pip as requiring 4932 kB of space, while python3-venv and pipx only add an additional 157 kB. That demo also implies that the actions containers include ~/.local/bin in $PATH.

@catthehacker do you have made a decision regarding pip , pipx and venv already?

I have taken over basic maintenance, they are now available in act-latest.
