pip installing PyYAML crashes the Action running #114
Description
Describe the bug
pip installing a version of PyYAML which is not the version being used to run the workflow causes the workflow runner to crash on subsequent steps.
2020-07-15T21:47:13.5356959Z FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/opt/hostedtoolcache/Python/3.7.8/x64/lib/python3.7/site-packages/PyYAML-5.3.1-py3.7-linux-x86_64.egg'

Additional context
I guess the right (?) way to work around this is to install everything in a virtual environment (as shown in the following commit), but:
- There's nothing in the README (that I can find, at least) that says this is necessary, and
- I'd argue that it's a bug (or at the very least, not proper encapsulation) if the user is able to cause the workflow runner to crash.
If I'm doing something wrong, I'd be happy to hear about it :) Thanks.

Experiencing the same issue here https://github.com/nathan-weinberg/jeeves/pull/133/checks?check_run_id=875661858

Seems like a bug for me. In the official documentation the action is used without virtualenv: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/language-and-framework-guides/using-python-with-github-actions

I was able to workaround this by changing the pyyaml version from 5.1 to 5.3.1 in my requirements.txt

Hello everyone, this issue is related to image, not the setup-python task. We are working on investigation and fix. Progress can be tracked in actions/runner-images#1202 (comment)

@nathan-weinberg I have tried to force
pyyaml==5.3.1before installing requirements.txt but it did not help...nathan-weinberg commentedon Jul 27, 2020
@Borda Here is the PR in which I made the change - https://github.com/nathan-weinberg/jeeves/pull/135/files
You may need to change the action version to v2

Hello @jameshiebert!
The related issue from virtual-environments was resolved. I just tested it and everything works as expected for me. Could you please confirm that it works for you too?
