@mshafer-NI FYI, I tried to use datasourceTemplate=github-releases packageNameTemplate=actions/python-versions like the built-in support for uses: actions/setup-python with: python-version: 3.11.9 does. I got it to the point where it extracts the version and shows the GitHub release timestamp in the logs, but I wasn't able to get it to propose any updates.

datasourceTemplate=python-version gets its information from python.org rather than GitHub, so it will propose new versions before they are available on GitHub. Hmm, I should probably reduce minimumReleaseAge for this.

I reduced the minimumReleaseAge for Python itself to 3 days.
