Python 2.6.4

[Andrew Psaltis (nacl)]

There are API changes in urwid 0.9.9 that broke wicd-curses.

You need to downgrade to 0.9.8.4 and it should work. wicd 1.7.0 will support all recent urwid versions, and support has already been committed to the bzr repository.

[David Paleino (dpaleino)]

Unfortunately, us distributors can't just stop development of other pieces of software (read: python-urwid) just for wicd.

Here's a patch to apply to 1.6.2.2.

[Andrew Psaltis (nacl)]

This was fixed in the 1.7 release.
