Can't set wired interface in WICD

I am following this guide: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/moinmoin/Ve … leBackends
but I get stuck on this

$ python cli.py --create-interface -i eth0 -t wired
python: can't open file 'cli.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I checked and there is no file cli.py anywhere in the system.

How can I set the wired interface, then?

I have 1.7.0-10 and:

locate cli.py
/usr/share/wicd/cli/wicd-cli.py

Re: Can't set wired interface in WICD

Thanks. I found it but this lead to other problems:

$ python /usr/share/wicd/daemon/wicd-daemon.py -foe
  File "/usr/share/wicd/daemon/wicd-daemon.py", line 122
    print "--no-autoconnect detected, not autoconnecting..."
                                                           ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

try :
python2 /usr/share/wicd/daemon/wicd-daemon.py -foe

wicd requires python2

Re: Can't set wired interface in WICD

Yeah, I run it with python 2.7 but it needs terminal open to keep running. Is there  a way to run it at startup with sudo privileges?
