"/usr/bin/python3: No module named virtualenv" and "'python' not found," #615

Problem description:

I have only changed the default workflow from the runs-on: ubuntu-latest to runs-on: self-hosted (only Python has been detected) and get the exception /usr/bin/python3: No module named virtualenv for the init action.

In the analyze action I got the error [build-stdout] ERROR: 'python' not found, it should be available when running 'which python' in your shell.

I am already successfully tested my Python application using this runner.

Suggestion

I suppose all the problem occurred because of first of all not installing python by the action. But why it cannot be installed if the python is analyzed?

However, there are other minor problems:

  1. In init python3 is called and it is worked but analyze calls python
  2. init does not install virtualenv by itself somewhy
  3. If you are not going to setup python automatically then replace from
