Module 'selinux' has no attribute 'selinux_getpolicytype' on Oracle Linux 9

[cstrizzolo]

SUMMARY

The following task:

- name: Set SELinux state
  ansible.posix.selinux:
    state: disabled

triggers the following error:

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: AttributeError: module 'selinux' has no attribute 'selinux_getpolicytype'
fatal: [linadm.ts.infn.it]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "module_stderr": "Traceback (most recent call last):\n  File \"<stdin>\", line 107, in <module>\n  File \"<stdin>\", line 99, in _ansiballz_main\n  File \"<stdin>\", line 47, in invoke_module\n  File \"<frozen runpy>\", line 226, in run_module\n  File \"<frozen runpy>\", line 98, in _run_module_code\n  File \"<frozen runpy>\", line 88, in _run_code\n  File \"/tmp/ansible_ansible.posix.selinux_payload_8fkxu1fj/ansible_ansible.posix.selinux_payload.zip/ansible_collections/ansible/posix/plugins/modules/selinux.py\", line 346, in <module>\n  File \"/tmp/ansible_ansible.posix.selinux_payload_8fkxu1fj/ansible_ansible.posix.selinux_payload.zip/ansible_collections/ansible/posix/plugins/modules/selinux.py\", line 248, in main\nAttributeError: module 'selinux' has no attribute 'selinux_getpolicytype'\n", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error", "rc": 1}

The same happens if I try to set the "policy: targeted" attribute instead of the state attribute.
