tarball downloaded via pip install

See original GitHub issue

I am not sure yet who to blame, but the wheel is not always downloaded via pip install imageio-ffmpeg.

This combination for example downloaded the tar ball instead.

pip==18.1 (previous major release)
wheel==0.32.0 (latest)
imageio-ffmpeg==0.2.0

Demo in docker for a 100% clean environment:

$ docker run --rm --tty python:3.7 bash -c "\
   pip install pip==18.1 wheel==0.33.0 \
&& pip install imageio-ffmpeg==0.2.0 \
&& find /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/imageio_ffmpeg/binaries/"
