C-Lightning: Rebalance.py plugin: conflict with RTL?

[BTCBellyButton]

Describe the bug
I was trying to use the Rebalance plugin for c-lightning but after restarting Lightningd, RTL stops working.
The plugin and everything else work fine. To have RTL back to normal I have to remove the c-lightning plugins directory.

Below there is the Systemctl status output.
Before adding the Rebalance plugin this line for RTL was present:
├─35207 node /home/go/c-lightning-REST/plugin.js
During service start up the line is still there but after starting it goes away and you get the error reported below by systemctl
So it seems that there is a conflict between the two services:
├─35207 node /home/go/c-lightning-REST/plugin.js
├─35208 python3 /home/go/.lightning/plugins/rebalance/rebalance.py

To Reproduce
stop c-lightning
add the rebalance.py plugin in the plugins directory
restart c-lightning
reload RTL in browser, --> no connection (can't remember the error msg, at work now)
