Research direction

Start in the README's install instructions and find the buried note about the PyPy package-name change. Restructure that information into a clearly labeled PyPy pip install section, then verify that the package name and installation steps are unambiguous.

Description

Can you make the name change for the pypy version a little more obvious. I spent ages before I found that tiny line buried in the readme. It should be made clear in a PROPER pypy pip install sections, not an 'oh yeh we changed the name for pip' right at the end of the install instructions
