After updating to 25.05, Qbittorrent search plugins no longer work (it says “plugin is not supported” for all of them). Apparently, Python 3.9 is not supported in NixOS anymore, but higher versions break the plugins. Is there any way to install the old version of Python, since the package was removed, or is Qbittorrent just going to stay broken?

Why are the plugins 4 years out of date? They should be updated instead.

Yes - since nixpkgs never throws anything away, you can, e.g. by pulling packages from multiple channels. That’s far from the neatest solution (and are you even sure you can make the plugins pick up the right python?), but I thouht I’d chime in with it just in case nobody offers a better one.
Never mind, I was using a higher version before the update (3.12). It also doesn’t work when I revert to the previous channel. I tried switching either python or qbittorrent or both back to 24.11, and my whole system. Behavior is still the same

I figured it out. To fix it, delete .local/share/qbittorrent/nova3, then check for updates in search plugins menu
