I've just tried this command. And I understand what it is done, now.

First, pimp stands for "Package Install Manager for Python" (MacOS-X only).
Second, `python -c "import pimp; print pimp.__file__"` returns the script of 
the module pimp. So, python <pimp_script> -i readline try to install the 
'readline' package.

*But*, it does not work for me :o( I get a 404 Error ! Do I need to 
configure something for pimp (server address...) ?

Thank's,
