Whilst using Virtual Machine Manager on a Mac to access KVM VMs, you might encounter the following error:
Python quit unexpectedly
The top of your report will look like this:

This has very much to do with Python not being installed properly for Mac.
The actual command that triggers this is:
virt-manager --connect='qemu+ssh://root@192.168.1.20/system?socket=/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock'
The original recipe to get this working is here:
