Description
Description:
Please consider adding an option to specify the tkinter version that this action installs/configures python to use
Justification:
I need to test python with various version but as I was using this action to install python I found it was only using tkinter 8.6.x and some users have already upgraded to tkinter 9.0.x and that caused me to miss a bug in my software. I am now trying to figure out how to configure my github runners to install python with each tkinter version particularly for python 3.13 and 3.12.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how the setup-python GitHub Action installs and configures Python on runners, then investigate how tkinter versions are selected for Python 3.12 and 3.13. Done means a workflow can request a tkinter version separately and tests cover the supported combinations.
