virt-manager - 导入错误：没有名为 gi 的模块

Question

When I run virt-manager --no-fork on macOS 10.13 High Sierra I get the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/virt-manager/1.5.0/libexec/share/virt-manager/virt-manager", line 31, in <module>
    import gi
ImportError: No module named gi

python version 2.7.6 on macOS

Tried mulitple solutions (by googling) none fixed the issue, any ideas how to solve "ImportError: No module named gi" error?

On debian 9.7 I had the same problem, I fixed:

apt install python-gobject-2-dev python-gobject-dev libvirt-glib-1.0-dev python3-libxml2 libosinfo-1.0-dev

(Arch-linux) I have anaconda installed which breaks virt-manager. But there is no need to uninstall it, just renamed anaconda folder to anything else and virt-manager works again. When need to use anaconda, undo the folder name change. Anaconda modifies PATH environment and when the folder is not present (the trick to rename it) system will look to a standard location. I think the problem could be related.
