-If you install tox_, you can also run tests against multiple Python interpreters::
-
-    pip install tox
-    tox
-
-This requires you to have the python interpreters available in ``$PATH``.
-
-To run against a single interpreter, you can also do::
-
-    tox -e py33
+The CI setup on GitHub Actions (GHA) provides a full test matrix covering
+relevant Python versions. You can invoke the software tests against a specific
+Python interpreter or multiple `Python versions`_ on your workstation using
+`uv`_, by supplying the ``--python`` command-line option, or by defining the
+`UV_PYTHON`_ environment variable prior to creating the virtualenv.
