I was having the same issue

Updating the libvirt-python resource in /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/jeffreywildman/homebrew-virt-manager/virt-manager.rb to use v3.7.0 instead of 3.4.0 allows for a successful installation:

  resource "libvirt-python" do
    url "https://libvirt.org/sources/python/libvirt-python-3.7.0.tar.gz"
    sha256 "1e4a8a8b08ef8f2502088f26ce3aced415d55ef808d8301dfed023f45154c06f"
  end

However, now I get the following error when running virt-manager from the command line:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/virt-manager/1.4.1/libexec/share/virt-manager/virt-manager", line 29, in <module>
    import gi
ImportError: No module named gi

Same Issue for me

This also failed for me.

Here is a link to a youtube video that helped me solve this problem . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVlc5G3TzYE&t=292s

I am running virt-manager Mac OSX Sierra.

[pgajeshwar-coupa]

Updating libvirt-python version of this file worked for me.
/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/jeffreywildman/homebrew-virt-manager/virt-manager.rb

resource "libvirt-python" do
    url "https://libvirt.org/sources/python/libvirt-python-3.7.0.tar.gz"
    sha256 "1e4a8a8b08ef8f2502088f26ce3aced415d55ef808d8301dfed023f45154c06f"
  end

I've got the same error too

[artooro]

Has anyone got this working? I tried editing it to use python 3.7 per comment by @pgajeshwar-coupa which allowed it to install. Then I got the error posted by @Toasty27 so I ran sudo pip install gi which install gi but now when I try to run virt-manager I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/virt-manager/1.4.1/libexec/share/virt-manager/virt-manager", line 30, in <module>
    gi.require_version('LibvirtGLib', '1.0')
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'require_version'

[artooro]

Looks like you also need #76 to fix the last gi related issue.

So is anyone doing a pull request or is this project dead?

[jeffreywildman]

Original issue looks like a mismatch in version between libvirt-python and libvirt. Current formula updated to match versions at 4.0.0. Please reinstall/upgrade and create a new issue if it reoccurs.
