Command used with act

act push -v

Describe issue

The actions/setup-python@v3 never seems to complete its execution. I can't get a simple "hello world" step to print. Instead the workflow output ends with Error: object not found

Additional information

I'm new to Github Actions, so I don't know whether this is an issue with my workflow YAML, or with act (and the same YAML would execute fine on Github's runners). I'm leaning towards the latter since the steps are so simple, it seems like it should work fine in both scenarios

Upgraded to actions/setup-python@v4.2.0 and it works as expected. Sorry for the distraction, but hopefully this will be a useful "hello world" template for someone stumbling across the issue in the future
