Proposed changes
This fixes build issues I see trying to use a Python coming from Pyenv on my personal development environment. For whatever reason, cmake finds the Python3.9 coming from Xcode and uses that to build, despite me having a suitable Python in my PATH.
See this old github thread with people having a similar problem.
Both Python 3.8 and 3.9 are EOL. The last release of mlx included wheels for 3.10 and newer. IMO the most straightforward fix is to specify that we need 3.10 or newer which avoids using the xcode Python, at least until Apple updates it.
