I got the same issue as well. But the error message is quite descriptive though.

If you just want a quick fix, you can just open the file /home/kali/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/Crypto/Random/OSRNG/posix.py on line 66 in your editor and put parenthesis around except IOError, e: like so except (IOError, e):

That solved it for me and crackmapexec is running again. Although it is only a quickfix until it is solved.

Thanks! this change indeed seems to solve the issue
