wicd dependency python-2.6

[bmarkus]

I also don't know the reasons or details for having to use python 2.6 and 2.7 coexisting at all, but I hope upcoming transitions will be smoother.
The fix to make this work is described in the first post, although it should be applied to all wicd-scripts, not only `which wicd`. Fixing the package is trivial to all of us, so it shouldn't really matter, but I'd like to ask bmarkus to take over that task. The other plans for the future seem OK to me, too.
Thanks

You asked:

Ok, I have python2.6 and python2.7 installed, I changed the startup scripts for wicd-start and wicd-curses to call python2.6 and everything works now. Shall I resubmit the package with the fix included?

Please submit the package.

All right.

Future python updates will only happen during a transition to a new repo that happens on a major TC version update.  That will prevent these kinds of issues.

Done. But after looking at the code I don't like this app any more.

I'd like people to try out my new roaming scripts. They switch automatically between your ethernet interface and, when no cable has been detected, your wireless networks (uses wpa_supplicant for wireless and netplugd for wired stuff, no other dependencies)

If you'd like to help testing just load roam.tcz and follow the instructions in the .info
You might need to use the nodhcp boot code, I forgot to mention that in the .info
