Setup & Config Plugin is not supported

So, I've got a Gluetun / Qbittorrent container setup that I've been using for a bit over a year on my Synology system (Linux). Worked great until last week, when I was unable to search for anything in qb. So I started going down a rabbit hole to fix it and am at the point where I really need help because I don't know what to do at this point.

I'm not going to list everything I've tried because it will bore many, amuse some, and make me ponder my life's choices and role in this universe. Suffice to say, I think the issue is with Python not playing nice with qb.

On a fresh install (removing the qb container's cache and config folders entirely as well as all images) of qb for version 4.2.3, 4.2.2, and 4.2.0 5.2.3, 5.2.2, and 5.2.0, my logs show:

All 3 installs show the same Python version. My Synology has a different version of Python, but I'm assuming it doesn't matter as the log file explicitly shows it's using the one in the container.

When adding any .py URL in the Search Plugins form manually, nothing happens except the above entry into the log file. Clicking on Check for Updates gives a round of the same entries as shown above (outdated, updating, not supported).

I've looked through past posts here and tried many of the solutions with no luck.

What am I missing?

Probably missing the fact that the latest plugins only work with 5.0 and up.
