[PATCH v2 04/12] python: README.rst touchups

[John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>]

Clarifying a few points; removing the reference to 'setuptools' because
it isn't referenced anywhere else in this document and doesn't really
provide any useful information to a Python newcomer.

Adjusting the language elsewhere to be less ambiguous and have fewer
run-on sentences.
