KubeVirt module error "Could not find imported module support code"

[B3DTech]

Summary

What happened:
Installed Ansible on Mac for the user using pip method.

Built a KubeVirt playbook and ran it with ansible-playbook deployvm.yaml and get the following error:

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "Could not find imported module support code for ansible_collections.community.kubevirt.plugins.modules.kubevirt_vm. Looked for (['ansible_collections.community.kubernetes.plugins.module_utils.common.AUTH_ARG_SPEC', 'ansible_collections.community.kubernetes.plugins.module_utils.common'])"}

What you expected to happen:

Dependencies are find

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
OS X 12.3

pip
python -m pip install --user ansible

the collection is currently unmaintained and was removed from the Ansible package
FYI if someone wants to pick it up, welcome! we'd be happy to help with any general questions on how to maintain it, just ask
