AttributeError: module 'os' has no attribute 'statvfs'

P.S. Also there is a typo: instalation instead of installation

[pro-krastinator]

For now as a temporary workaround, I commented out the line that references statvfs in the aiofiles package in the mentioned path (venv\lib\site-packages\aiofiles\os.py) and comment out the line statvfs = wrap(os.statvfs). However, this is probably a hacky solution and might lead to other unforeseen issues. Please note that I am not a programmer at all. 😊

Temperary workaround here #1358 (comment)

[YuanGYao]

This is a bug from aiofiles. To fix this, only need to activate the vene and execute "pip install --upgrade aiofiles" to upgrade the aiofiles.

[pro-krastinator]

Thank you both, @buzzz3d and @YuanGYao , this workaround worked.
But the issue with current state of kohya_ss sdxl branch which would not allow to start GUI after fresh installation, out-of-the-box, so to speak, still exist.

Hummm... this module is frustratingly causing the issue. I will try to pin the new version so it will at least stay there and install if an older one is used...
