ImportError: bad magic number in 'zimply': b'\x03\xf3\r\n'

Just did an upgrade on a raspberry pi and did
pip3 install zimply
and got .... Successfully installed zimply-1.1.4

But creating server.py:

from zimply import ZIMServer
ZIMServer("fas-military-medicine_2022-03.zim")

and running it with
python3 server.py
yields:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "server.py", line 1, in <module>
    from zimply import ZIMServer
ImportError: bad magic number in 'zimply': b'\x03\xf3\r\n'

so maybe it didn't install correctly after all?

Is this code dead? I expected a quick "oh, you did X wrong, try Y."

You are free to look at the code and submit fixes yourself. This is an unpaid open-source project where I contribute when I can. At the moment, I cannot contribute.
