Title: use gnureadline on OS X

the readline Python package has been renamed to gnureadline to avoid namespace conflicts with the stdlib. Because of this, we no longer need to do any shenanigans with sys.path, or recommend easy_install over pip with lengthy disclaimers. Just import it and be done.

(yay!)
