Description:

qbittorrent 2.4.7 has no search function due to python3 breaking the search scripts.

when run from command line it produces the following:
$ qbittorrent
Peer ID: -qB2470-
HTTP user agent is qBittorrent v2.4.7
Could not parse Nova search engine capabilities, msg:
Error: File "/home/jack/.local/share/data/qBittorrent/search_engine/nova2.py", line 64
exec "from engines.%s import %s"%(e,e)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Changing python symlink to point to python27 fixes the problem, like this:

$ ls -l /usr/bin/pyth*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Oct 23 23:17 /usr/bin/python -> python2.7
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Oct 23 23:17 /usr/bin/python2 -> python2.7
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4696 Oct 6 14:30 /usr/bin/python2.7
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1618 Oct 6 14:30 /usr/bin/python2.7-config
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct 6 14:30 /usr/bin/python2-config -> python2.7-config
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 6720 Oct 4 14:45 /usr/bin/python3
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 6720 Oct 4 14:45 /usr/bin/python3.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1395 Oct 4 14:45 /usr/bin/python3.1-config
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct 4 14:45 /usr/bin/python3-config -> python3.1-config
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct 23 23:18 /usr/bin/python-config -> python2.7-config

One of the devs is aware of the problem and I think he has a patch, ask chris-qBT in #qbittorrent

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.
