sure. simply, if running in a pyenv, there's no relevant 'python3-devel' pkg to fulfill the dep.

opensuse Leap.
The distro's python is seldom up-to-date.
I prefer to choose/work in a non-distro, up-to-date global pyenv.
The distro's virt-manager doesn't play nicely with the pyenv.

using git here,
git reflog -n1

this fits the bill.
it's an additional set of steps, but simple enough. no rpm required, and deploys easily with ansible ...
with,
pyenv which python
/usr/local/pyenv/versions/3.8-dev/bin/python
a local build
which virt-manager
/usr/local/virt-manager/bin/virt-manager
correctly uses
cat /usr/local/virt-manager/bin/virt-manager | head -n1
#!/usr/local/pyenv/versions/3.8-dev/bin/python
and execs ok ( so far ... )
virt-manager --version
2.2.1
virt-install --version
2.2.1
'uninstall' is, then
rm -rf /usr/local/virt-manager
