## Why Local Testing?
MLX Knife requires **Apple Silicon hardware** and **real MLX models** for comprehensive testing:
- **Hardware Requirement**: MLX framework only runs on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3)
- **Model Requirement**: Tests use actual models (4GB+) for realistic validation
- **Industry Standard**: Local testing is normal for MLX projects
- **Quality Assurance**: Real hardware testing ensures actual functionality
This approach ensures our tests reflect real-world usage, not mocked behavior.

## Test Prerequisites
### Required Setup
1. **Apple Silicon Mac** (M1/M2/M3)
2. **Python 3.9 or newer**
3. **Test dependencies installed**:
```bash
pip install -e ".[test]"
```
4. **At least one MLX model**:
```bash
mlxk pull mlx-community/Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct-4bit
```
### Optional Setup
For full test coverage, you may want additional models:
```bash
# Smaller model for quick tests
mlxk pull mlx-community/Phi-3-mini-128k-instruct-4bit
# Different architecture for variety
mlxk pull mlx-community/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3-4bit

## Python Version Compatibility
### Compatibility Status
MLX Knife 1.0-rc1 is fully compatible with Python 3.9-3.13. Comprehensive verification completed with 86/86 tests passing on all supported versions.
## Multi-Python Verification
### Manual Multi-Python Testing
### Automated Testing
MLX Knife includes comprehensive multi-version testing via the `test-multi-python.sh` script:
If you have multiple Python versions installed, you can verify compatibility:
```bash
# Run complete multi-Python verification
# Run the multi-Python verification script
./test-multi-python.sh
# This script tests:
# - Virtual environment creation
# - Package installation
# - Import functionality
# - CLI basic operations
# - Complete pytest suite (86 tests)
# - Code quality checks (ruff/mypy)
```
### Manual Testing Commands
```bash
# Test specific Python version manually
python3.11 -m venv test_311
source test_311/bin/activate
# Or manually test specific versions
python3.9 -m venv test_39
source test_39/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[test]"
pytest
deactivate && rm -rf test_311
# Check Python version availability
for v in 3.9 3.10 3.11 3.12 3.13; do
python$v --version 2>/dev/null && echo "✅ Python $v available" || echo "❌ Python $v not found"
done
deactivate && rm -rf test_39
```
