Description

I'd love if I could use pyright-python to test the latest version of pyright from GitHub (irrespective of any release cycle). Not sure if this is even possible, but I read that npm can install from a GitHub link, so that might be doable easily.

Research direction

Start by examining how pyright-python selects and installs the Pyright version, then verify whether npm supports installing directly from GitHub. Define the behavior for PYRIGHT_PYTHON_FORCE_VERSION=github and confirm that the latest GitHub version can be installed and invoked regardless of the release cycle.
