Since static linking issue can occur in macOS, using `ldd $(which python) | grep libpython` could be confusing.
"`pyjulia`" and "pyjulia" are replaced with "PyJulia" (unless it appears as a part of URL). I'm OK with "pyjulia". Using "PyJulia" only because it appears as the title of README.md.

@stevengj Can you have a look at updated README? Especially the notes on the pre-compilation cache? https://github.com/tkf/pyjulia/blob/readme/README.md#pre-compilation-mechanism-in-julia-10 |

Here is how it'd be rendered in PyPI https://test.pypi.org/project/julia/0.2.0.dev1/ |
| ``` | ||
| pip install julia | ||
| ```console | ||
| $ python3 -m pip install --user julia |

I switched pip to python3 -m pip everywhere since it's a common pitfall that pip uses different Python executable than python.

Fine, although what we did previously was not technically monkey patching. I’m not sure it is a good idea to try to explain what is going wrong in the readme. Just say that pecompilation doesn’t work with 1.0 and link the issue. |

We are changing the path of the Julia executable which is conceptually like mutating a function. But it is done through the public API (but in an implementation-dependent manner) so I guess I'm stretching it somewhat to call it a monkey patch. The pre-compilation issue was asked by multiple users (including me) so I think it would be nice to explain it in some details. How about blending it into |

Here is the new fake-julia documentation I suggest: https://github.com/tkf/pyjulia/tree/readme/julia/fake-julia |

@stevengj Thanks a lot for reviewing! |
