[SOLVED]Virt-manager throws an error

Hello everybody!
Today I tried to start virt-manager since long ago and suddenly stuck with an error google doesnt say much about

 File "/usr/bin/virt-manager", line 6, in <module>
    from virtManager import virtmanager
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/virtmanager.py", line 19, in <module>
    from virtinst import BuildConfig
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/__init__.py", line 43, in <module>
    _set_libvirt_error_handler()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/__init__.py", line 33, in _set_libvirt_error_handler
    import libvirt
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'libvirt'

All of the links found in google say about wrong partial upgrade, however I always do a full one

└─[$] pacman -Syu                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               [14:41:33]
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do

ACtually, google says nothing more about this issue. Am I the only one who faced it?
I hope not, and casting here experts with sacred knowledge.
Thanks in advance.

Re: [SOLVED]Virt-manager throws an error

are you also running python 3.10 and have libvirt-python installed?

No, I do not have python-libvirt installed.

I wrote libvirt-python which you have installed.

What is your python version?

/usr/bin/python --version

Unbelievable, but now it works! I have just rebooted.
