pip install readline fails for blue-app-monero tool on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7

[Jsalas424]

I successfully installed pycryptodomex, ECPy, and ledgerblue with pip3 install. Installing readline fails:

jon@Jonathans-MBP ~ % pip3 install readline

Using legacy 'setup.py install' for readline, since package 'wheel' is not installed.

https://pypi.org/project/readline/ states WARNING: THIS PACKAGE IS DEPRECATED! It has been renamed to GNUREADLINE to resolve a name clash with the standard library module. gnureadline installs for me without an issue.

we should still update the instructions before closing this ticket in my opinion
