Initially emerged dev-python/dbus-python-1.1.1-r1 with PYTHON_TARGETS='python3_2' in /etc/portage/make.conf. net-misc/wicd-1.7.2.4-r2 installed fine, but failed when attempting to start with "ImportError: No module named dbus" After emerging dev-python/dbus-python-1.1.1-r1 again with PYTHON_TARGETS='python2_7 python3_2' and then emerging net-misc/wicd-1.7.2.4-r2 again, wicd started without errors.
The wicd package is EAPI=3 so you control this one with USE_PYTHON. I'm not sure this is fixable other than migrating wicd to EAPI=5
In wicd-1.7.2.4-r3 I migrated to new python eclasses and EAPI 5. I updated the deps so that this should work now.
