I'm on Monterey, but experienced the same error. I tried manually installing libvirt-python with python3 -m pip install libvirt-python==6.10.0 and it failed. When I manually installed the latest version 8.2.0 it worked. So I ran brew edit virt-manager and changed the line calling for libvirt-python from:

  resource "libvirt-python" do
    url "https://libvirt.org/sources/python/libvirt-python-6.10.0.tar.gz"
    sha256 "47a8e90d9f49bc0296d2817f6009e18dbb69844ce10b81c2a2672bccd6f49fd5"
  end

to the latest version...

  resource "libvirt-python" do
    url "https://libvirt.org/sources/python/libvirt-python-8.2.0.tar.gz"
    sha256 "f8b8cea67ff0d64d63029cc3410a4656e04ee9f26837a856bc0c287da55d053a"
  end

I then ran brew reinstall virt-manager and it worked.

@paisley I can confirm that your steps work on Catalina (10.15.7). Thank you.

this should be updated in the source code here as well...
