@xavier2k6 commented on GitHub (Jul 16, 2025):

@Rincewindwiz For users with multiple versions of python installed in their systems, an option was provided in advanced options of qBittorrent to point to the python executable path that a user requires/meets qBittorrent's requirements.

In 5.2, this has been slightly altered/made more intelligent by detecting/checking installed python versions & as along as the minimum requirement is met qBittorrent will run even if lower versions are encountered...

@WORMSS commented on GitHub (Dec 24, 2025):

I only found this option AFTER I already removed old python from my system. This was a highly annoying process as I had a bunch of things that were apparently tied or required old python I ended up moving to a completely different computer..

It would be nice if this was stated as a option on the error dialog.
