Research direction
Start with windows.js at line 75 and inspect how setup-ruby changes PATH after setup-python has run. Reproduce the workflow using the PATH shown in the issue, then determine how a configurable ordering should behave; done means Python resolves to the configured Python installation rather than Ruby's msys64 Python.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
My workflow has setup-python step followed by setup-ruby. Noticed that the python from msys64 directory is getting invoked, due to it appearing before the Python directory in the PATH.

Would it be possible to make this configurable?
