[CentOS] wicd questions

Hello

I am trying to get wicd to work on Cent 5.5 it installs fine but when i run wicd-curses i get this error

wicd-curses File "/usr/share/wicd/curses/wicd-curses.py", line 505 class appGUI(): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

my versions of wicd and python-urwid are

wicd-1.7.0-3.el5 python-urwid-0.9.8.4-3.el5

Has anyone been able to get wicd working ? Or does anyone know how to fix the python syntax error ? I would like to be able to control my wireless networks via command line.

btw this is not a centos base package so flame away please & thanks.
