module 'olefile' has no attribute 'OleFileIO'

I'm using olevba from within olefy and I'm getting this error:

olefy ERROR oletools <308750> olevba returned <30 chars - rc: 1, response: '', error: '

I wonder if this is an error in olevba

Hi @hildeb, have you checked if olefile is properly installed, and which version it is? You can use pip list, and the olefile version should be 0.46.

[hildeb]

# pip list |fgrep ole
olefile                0.46
oletools               0.60.1

This is really strange, olevba does not trigger that error on my Linux with Python 3.10. I really wonder what would trigger this error if olefile is installed properly. 🤔
