Description

One of the features I love most about TravisCI is the ability to build my projects CI with top of Trunk Python (master branch). This allows me to know about deprecations etc. coming very early and have time to work on the fixes sooner.

Can actions look at supporting building a Trunk version nightly? Here is an example usage with Travis: https://github.com/facebookincubator/ptr/blob/master/.travis.yml#L16

Haven't dug in deep, but would also love to have the ability for this build to be able to fail and not flag CI failure, like the Travis config above does.

Thanks.

Research direction

The issue names no setup-python files or tests. Start by reviewing the setup-python repository entry points and the linked Travis configuration in facebookincubator/ptr to understand the nightly Python master build and its allowed-failure behavior. Done means workflows can request the nightly trunk build without turning an expected failure into an overall CI failure.
