Failed to run built Python - AttributeError: module 'sys' has no attribute 'winver' #431
Description
Tested on 3.12.10 and 3.11.0 - build suceeds, but there are some AttributeError: module 'sys' has no attribute 'winver' errors during installation (I assume when Python itself is executed to launch some commands / do tests) and running any commands to already installed Python fails with the same error.
Below is .yml for github action to reproduce the problem:
