A couple months ago the neovim python package was renamed and broke pip install --upgrade neovim
This PR adds a warning to the README of this repo but doesn't resolve the underlying issue (that install will break a Vimfiles setup that previously had neovim installed when it runs sudo $PIP install --upgrade neovim.
I propose an additional change (not included in this PR pending discussion) to install that would detect a previously installed neovim package, uninstall it (and potentially any pynvim that is present), and directly install pynvim. This could potentially be achieved with $PIP show neovim.
