What's the reason you can't pip install readline? Is it because pip
insists on compiling it?


No--it needs to be compiled either way--but I _think_ the issue is that pip
and easy_install put packages on sys.path differently. The pop way puts it
after the existing readline.

If so, wouldn't wheels solve this issue?


Nope-because it's an install-time thing.

But it is a barrier, as it DOES need to be complied. And it DOES need to be
installed on the Mac (at least).
