Thunarx crash when libpython is not found

Using versions 4.18.4 to 4.18.6 on manjaro with kernel 6.3.1-3 when launching thunar crashes before initializing a window. launching in a terminal with thunar results in this:

Thunar :Failed to load plugin file '/usr/lib/thunarx-3/thunarx-python.so': libpython3.10.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

(thunar:7045): thunarx-CRITICAL **: 12:50:07.571: thunarx_provider_module_list_types: assertion 'module->list_types != NULL' failed

(thunar:7045): GLib-ERROR **: 12:50:07.571: ../glib/glib/gmem.c:207: failed to allocate 20300822784 bytes
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

before this point the GLib-ERROR would report 18446744073520295989*16 bytes and before that 18446744072161806578*16 bytes, so on, so forth.

before all this happened I believe I attempted to disconnect from a local SFTP connection using the "eject" button next to the connection name (/ on 10.0.0.xxx) and the application froze, when force closing and relaunching the crashing began.
