Error in version 0.5.0

[Masaiki]

"0.5.0" does not include the init.py in the binaries folder, which causes the get_ffmpeg_exe function to be unable to be called normally.

Upon inspecting a wheel from pypi, it looks like you're right. But how? The setup.py looks ok:

https://github.com/imageio/imageio-ffmpeg/blob/d718a0a5ab69ab86ef1833088396c13ff9872af2/setup.py#L62

Ran into this problem yesterday as well as currently breaks CI for ImageIO. I ran out of time before finding the cause, but my current hunch is a recent change in setuptools - does an older version produce the correct wheel?

same issue 😭 (so I downgraded to 0.4.9 and the error is gone)

I noticed the same issue with Python 3.9, but Python 3.11 is working fine for me.

Similar for me, CI on python 3.9 is breaking, but on 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12 is ok

Fixed and re-released. 🤞
