[Bug 602825] Re: wicd doesnt like python 2.7

[Adam Blackburn]

This is fixed in Wicd's trunk and will be released in 1.7.1 in the next
couple of days. Thanks to Rémy Oudompheng and Archlinux for the patch to
fix this.

(btw, I used the patch from
http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/packages/wicd/trunk/deepcopy%2Bpython27-fixes.patch
instead of the one in this thread as it changes python -> python2 to fix
python when python points to python3, and fixes the bug mentioned in
#27)

** Changed in: wicd
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed
