Given all the confusion over on conda-forge, [*] I thought a little more docs would be helpful here.
If we had it to start all over again, I'd probably have simply installed ninja_syntax.py as a top level module, so it would work just like online docs suggest, e.g.:
from: https://bernsteinbear.com/blog/ninja-is-enough/
From a python-centric perspective this makes sense, too -- but should be documented :-).
The fact is that most (all?) folks using this package are simply getting it from a requirements file someone else set up -- I suspect there are very few people installing ninja from pypi so that they can use ninja_syntax anyway, but maybe some will?
I also added a note about:
python -m ninjasince it is there, it should be documented.
