Some packagers of PyEnchant do not include any dictionary files. The PyEnchant documentation explains how to find one and install them: https://pyenchant.github.io/pyenchant/install.html#installing-a-dictionary
Try installing the package 'hunspell-en_US' (or the language of your choice). That *should* do the trick to get this working on Manjaro, as it did on my Arch installs.
