ImportError: No module named gi

  File "/usr/local/Cellar/virt-manager/1.2.1/libexec/share/virt-manager/virt-manager", line 29, in <module>
    import gi
ImportError: No module named gi

while trying:

function vm { virt-manager -c qemu+ssh://root@"$1"/system?socket=/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock; }

Using the lastest versions.

Cheers.

Fixed by running:

brew reinstall pygobject pygobject3

Cheers.

Hi, thanks for the report and fix.

Perhaps pygobject3 was previously installed using a non-brewed Python before virt-manager was installed? Under this scenario, pygobject3 would be installed and technically satisfy the dependency of virt-manager, but it would not be in the site-packages of the brewed Python.
