The command used to inject the version tag into is specific to BSD/macOS and fails on GNU/Linux and Windows runners in GitHub Actions with 'sed: can't read : No such file or directory'. Using Python string replacement ensures the version tag is correctly injected across all runner environments.

Summary
Replaces the OS-specific
sedcommand with a cross-platform Python one-liner in the GitHub Actions workflow.Context
The recent change to automatically inject version numbers into
__init__.pyduring the build usedsed -i. This syntax is specific to the BSD version ofsed(default on macOS). However, the GitHub runners for Linux and Windows use GNUsed, which misinterpreted the empty quotes as a filename, resulting in a build crash (sed: can't read : No such file or directory).Approach
Replaced the
sedcommand with a simple Python string replacement one-liner. Since Python is already guaranteed to be installed and available in the environment, this ensures the version is injected reliably across macOS, Linux, and Windows without dealing with shell dialect inconsistencies.
