qBittorrent official forums

From today when I search something, qbittorrent do not find anything.
When I push on the button Search engines..., the program open the window Search plugins, where usually I saw the plugin installed, empty. But If i push the button "Check for updates" a lot of new windows advice me that xxxxxxx search engine plugin could not be updated, keeping old version.
If I try to install a brand new search engine, a new window advice me that search engine plugin could not be installed.
If I open a window of my file manager and I go to " /home/tony/.local/share/data/qBittorrent/nova/engines", I can find a new file with the same name of search engine plugin that I try to install, but with a different extension: -pyc instead of .py .
I tried to reinstall qBittorrent with " apt-get --reinstall install qbittorrent" but nothing change.
I use LinuxMint 17.2 Rafaela 64bit on a Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8400 with 5 Gigabyte RAM.
I use version 3.2.0 of qBittorrent with the follow libraries:
- Qt: 4.8.6
- Libtorrent: 0.16.13.0
- Boost: 1.54

Thanks Ciaobaby.
You give me the right idea.
Ten days ago I had a very bad idea: install an old version of python (2.5.4) to try a tool.
Yesterday, when I read your post, I remembered my stupid action.
I tried to uninstall the old python, but when I tried with apt-get, system suggest me that for dependences it will uninstall a lot of thing native of my linux distro...
I read the how-to of the package that i used for the install, but it do not provide anything to remove.

After 30 minute of attempts and Google Search, I found this solution that create a symlink to use right version.
update-alternatives --install /usr/local/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2.7 1
The first time I use it, a message advice me that it can not create the simlink, so I renamed the original wrong python in python_wrong and tried again.
This time all gone good and my qbittorrent come to full and right work.

In this occasion I discover that python is the spine of my distro linux and play with it installing many different version may be very dangerous...
