Yes please :) I thought maybe "3.11-dev" would get me the current tip of main. Oh well... :( |

Hi@vsafonkin and@marko-zivic-93, could anyone have a look please ? |

Hi@neutrinoceros, we will take a look at this, thank you for your contribution. |
| -For every minor version of Python, expect only the latest patch to be preinstalled. | ||
| -If `3.8.1` is installed for example, and `3.8.2` is released, expect `3.8.1` to be removed and replaced by `3.8.2` in the tools cache. | ||
| -If the exact patch version doesn't matter to you, specifying just the major and minor version will get you the latest preinstalled patch version. In the previous example, the version spec `3.8` will use the `3.8.2` Python version found in the cache. | ||
| -Use `-dev` instead of a patch number (e.g., `3.11-dev`) to install the latest release of a minor version, *alpha and beta releases included*. |
