ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cryptography' (on OL7)

[wajiii]

We have an OL7 host on which we need to install the OCI CLI, so I followed the instructions given here, and ran sudo yum install python36-oci-cli.

This appeared to successfully install the CLI and its dependencies; however, trying to execute it afterward results in the error named in the subject of this issue:

[aime@phoenix41818 ~]$ which oci
/bin/oci

However, the installation clearly showed cryptography as one of the dependencies which was included at the time:

I have removed and reinstalled the main package and its dependencies a number of times, hoping to resolve this; but I cannot get past it, and need help. ;)

Could we get output of

 $ ls -d /usr/lib64/python3*/site-packages/[cC]*

and also

 $ rpm -V python36-cryptography

and while you are at it, try also

 $ python3.6
>>> import cryptography
>>> from cryptography.hazmat.backends import default_backend
>>> print(cryptography.__version__)
>>> print(default_backend.__code__)

Thank you.
