Python2 was removed in July, and per Jon's announcement it was expected
this would break some orphaned packages:
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-announce/2023-July/011186.html
And having just had a look, it's not going to be straightforward to
release virt-manager for Python3: it has several dependencies,
including Gtk3, that are themselves not currently available for
Cygwin.
I'm sure there are difficulties, but we do have gtk3 (although it might
also need updating...)
Volunteers to get that working would likely be well received! Package
maintainer basics are at http://www.cygwin.com/packages.html, although
I expect the key job would be getting the current code building on
Cygwin; once it's built and working, the packaging steps are much more
straightforward…
