Hi guys,
I'm trying to get virt-manager to work. But it complains about not being
able to load gi:
tba@emu:/opt$ virt-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/virt-manager", line 6, in <module>
from virtManager import virtmanager
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/virtmanager.py", line 15,
in <module>
import gi
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gi'
tba@emu:/opt$
Does anyone know if we have gi somewhere?
The gi python module comes from the pygobject-* packages:

Thanks Alan,
I tried using python3.5, but now I just get a "Namespace LibvirtGLib not
available" so it seems that more stuff is missing.
The gi module is used to load gobject-introspection files, which projects based
on glib (like GTK & gnome, but also some non-GUI software) uses to provide
Python bindings to their API's without having to hand craft the bindings
themselves, instead scanning their C or C++ API's, recording that in the gi
files, and autogenerating Python APIs from the gi files.
So I think you'd need to pkg search for "LibvirtGLib.typelib" to see if there's
a matching gobject-introspection file for this library already packaged - there
may not be if the package wasn't built with gobject-introspection to generate
the files. (They usually end up in /usr/lib/amd64/girepository-1.0/ or
/usr/lib/girepository-1.0/ for 32-bit versions.)
