Hm.. olefile and oletools are different things, albeit by the same author. For the time being I use pip3's --target option to install in /usr/local.

I have the docker group, nevertheless I get docker.errors.DockerException: Error while fetching server API version: ('Connection aborted.', PermissionError(13, 'Permission denied'))

I would rather run the package without docker...
