Ability to install "latest pypy3"
See original GitHub issueDescription:
Ability to install the latest PyPy 3 available would be great, for example by specifying pypy-3.x.
Originally discussed in https://github.com/actions/setup-python/issues/352
Justification:
Same justification as the existing ability to install the latest CPython 3 by specifying 3.x.
Are you willing to submit a PR?
In general yes, in practice it’s unlikely I’d have time for this in the near future.

I see nothing unexpected there. It’s very much expected and actually the normal state of affairs that the latest PyPy lags behind the latest CPython minor version.
The reasoning here does not make a lot of sense to me.

But today it installs the oldest one, which is, in my opinion, more misleading as that’s not how most systems operate. I fail to see why determining the latest pypy release for a major version is any different that finding the oldest version. If it really is difficult, I’d suggest failing if a minor version is not specified because I think most people are assuming it’s pulling the latest until something breaks. I certainly did.
