qbittorrent <=4.4.0 (current latest version) fails with:
```
Missing Python Runtime
Python is required to use the search engine but it does not seem to be
installed
```
which is triggered from `qbittorrent/src/gui/mainwindow.cpp`:
```cpp
void MainWindow::on_actionSearchWidget_triggered()
{
if (!m_hasPython && m_ui->actionSearchWidget->isChecked())
{
const Utils::ForeignApps::PythonInfo pyInfo = Utils::ForeignApps::pythonInfo();
// Not installed
if (!pyInfo.isValid())
{
m_ui->actionSearchWidget->setChecked(false);
Preferences::instance()->setSearchEnabled(false);
#ifdef Q_OS_WIN
const QMessageBox::StandardButton buttonPressed = QMessageBox::question(this, tr("Missing Python Runtime")
, tr("Python is required to use the search eng
ine but it does not seem to be installed.\nDo you want to install it now?")
, (QMessageBox::Yes | QMessageBox::No), QMessageBox::Yes);
if (buttonPressed == QMessageBox::Yes)
installPython();
#else
QMessageBox::information(this, tr("Missing Python Runtime")
, tr("Python is required to use the search engine but it does not seem to be installed."));
#endif
return;
}
// Check version requirement
if (!pyInfo.isSupportedVersion())
{
m_ui->actionSearchWidget->setChecked(false);
Preferences::instance()->setSearchEnabled(false);
#ifdef Q_OS_WIN
const QMessageBox::StandardButton buttonPressed = QMessageBox::question(this, tr("Old Python Runtime")
, tr("Your Python version (%1) is outdated. Minimum requirement: %2.\nDo you want to install a newer version now?")
.arg(pyInfo.ve
rsion, QLatin1String("3.5.0"))
, (QMessageBox::Yes | QMessageBox::No), QMessageBox::Yes);
if (buttonPressed == QMessageBox::Yes)
installPython();
#else
QMessageBox::information(this, tr("Old Python Runtime")
, tr("Your Python version (%1) is outdated. Please upgrade to latest version for search engines to work.\nMinimum requirement: %2.")
.arg(pyInfo.version, QLatin1String("3.5.0")));
#endif
return;
}
m_hasPython = true;
m_ui->actionSearchWidget->setChecked(true);
Preferences::instance()->setSearchEnabled(true);
}
displaySearchTab(m_ui->actionSearchWidget->isChecked());
}
```
To call `Utils::ForeignApps::pythonInfo()` definition in
`qbittorrent/src/base/utils/foreignapps.cpp` as:
```cpp
pp#L272 */
PythonInfo Utils::ForeignApps::pythonInfo()
{
static PythonInfo pyInfo;
if (!pyInfo.isValid())
{
if (testPythonInstallation("python3", pyInfo))
return pyInfo;
if (testPythonInstallation("python", pyInfo))
return pyInfo;
#if defined(Q_OS_WIN)
if (testPythonInstallation(findPythonPath(), pyInfo))
return pyInfo;
#endif
LogMsg(QCoreApplication::translate("Utils::ForeignApps", "Python not detected"), Log::INFO);
}
return pyInfo;
}
```
Where:
```cpp
if (testPythonInstallation("python3", pyInfo)) ...
```
Is important as it's checking for a `python3` (or `python`) executable
in PATH that is not provided by guix's build procedure -> The package
has compatibility issues with GNU Guix and has to be patched.
### Steps to reproduce:
0. Get qbittorrent on GNU Guix
1. Open the GUI: View > Search engine and observe the highlighted error
pre
venting to use the search engine functionality
