GNU poke: The extensible editor for structured binary data
It's a bit overkill for only building Poke, but you can use Pkgsrc [1] to do so on macOS:

ImportError: No module named libvirt
Looking at pkgsrc/sysutils/libvirt/PLIST it doesn't look like the package provides any Python bindings -- which is what the "ImportError: No module named libvirt" error message is about. You could try py-libvirt from pkgsrc-wip and see how that works out.

Using NetBSD’s pkgsrc everywhere I can
The repository of record is CVS, but you can - like many of us do - use either the HG export (https://anonhg.netbsd.org/pkgsrc) or GitHub (https://github.com/netbsd/pkgsrc) instead.
At some point we will transition the repository of record to something else, but it's being done carefully. We want to do it right, and there aren't many volunteers willing help with the work.
