On a minimal, Xless system when you install wicd through your
system configuration and try to start wicd-curses,
you get a traceback:

File "/gnu/store/aaaaaaaa-wicd-1.7.4/share/wicd/curses/wicd-curses.py", line 44, in <module> import urwid
ImportError: No mouled named urwid


Which is strange since it is in the inputs, so I'm thinking
maybe it needs to be wrapped? I haven't put much though to
a solution yet.

Is it still relevant?  If yes, someone could provide moreinfo?

I cannot reproduce this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix environment --ad-hoc --pure wicd -- wicd-curses
/gnu/store/68pb6kcqfc38xk8rn7whmplfq77viwva-wicd-1.7.4/bin/.wicd-curses-real: line 3: mkdir: command not found
Can't connect to the daemon, trying to start it automatically...
Can't automatically start the daemon, this error is fatal...
Error connecting to wicd via D-Bus. Please make sure the wicd service is running.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

While wicd-curses fails for unrelated reasons, it does *not* fail to
load urwid.

I’m closing this issue.
