Downloading specific version like 3.11.1 from https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.11.1/Python-3.11.1.tgz and installing ./configure --enable-optimizations && make install is slow (30 - 40 mins), on GitHub actions.
Dockerfile:

RUN wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.11.1/Python-3.11.1.tgz
RUN tar -zxvf Python-3.11.1.tgz
RUN cd Python-3.11.1 && ls -lhR && ./configure --enable-optimizations && make install
What is the optimal way to install python specific version? and how to reduce the build time?
