I'm not sure, but it might be related to me using the maximize build space action; however I have been using that for years and this issue just started popping up. Edit: This action has been used for years on the standard runner. The arm runner is somewhat new, but it had been working fine there for probably 2-3 months.
Edit: The runner should not be out of space at this point since this occurs near the beginning of the workflow. Normally if we run out of space it happens during the CUDA installation, which happens quite a bit later.
Expected behavior:
Install Python without crashing the runner.
Actual behavior:
Runner crashes in the middle of installing Python.

Hello @ReenigneArcher 👋,
We attempted to reproduce the issue on our end but were unable to do so. It appears that the runner crash is related to disk space or memory issues on the arm64 Ubuntu runner. The crash occurs while extracting the Python archive during the
setup-pythonaction, suggesting that the problem is likely due to environmental factors such as disk space or memory constraints, rather than an issue with thesetup-pythonaction.To address this problem more effectively, please raise this issue in the partner-runner-images repository. We are closing this issue for now.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any further concerns or need additional assistance.
Thank you for your understanding.
