+name: "Identify installed Python interpreters"
+description: |
+  Find installed Python interpreters and output them as "python-identifiers".
+  This can be useful for cache busting of tox, virtual environments,
+  and other items that are sensitive to changes in Python minor versions.
+
+  Only Python interpreters named "python" in the $PATH will be found.

+      A string of sorted Python identifiers.
+      
+      In most cases the identifiers will be paths,
+      but for system Pythons, 'sysconfig.get_config_var("EXT_SUFFIX")' will be included.
+
+      The string will be separated by OS-specific PATH separators;
+      ":" is used on Linux and macOS, and ";" is used on Windows.
