Should be harmless to add and may be useful

@ryanofsky

Could you please enable this action in the repo?

maflcko commented at 7:33 am on August 29, 2025:

might as well enable all vmactions/*? I don’t plan to add more, but there is another pull about netbsd. Also, if one action was backdoored, enabling more should be harmless.

Makes sense. vmactions/*is enabled now

Right. I noticed this excess package while working on #196.

This may also help debug why (so far) I haven’t been able to run the nix based tests on macOS.

The CI task added here isn’t using nix on macos. It is certainly possible to do so, see https://github.com/maflcko/libmultiprocess/actions/runs/17243581016/job/48927248082 / e8dc12dea22c102ee83bc23cb584cb9096fbee43. However:

Nix seems more niche on macos and users are more likely to use brew?
Nix takes a longer time than brew, because the setup is more involved and taking a longer time.

No strong opinion, but happy to adjust, if there are reasons to do so.

That’s probably true.

It seems useful to test on macOS without nix.

Also, remove unused python from install.
