The port to Python 3 is not finished in the upstream. Particularly it is still using pygtk, it seems no work in porting to gtk+3 has been done yet. I don't think I'm going to do it. If anybody will, many people will be grateful. I personally suggest to look at net-wireless/iwd (it has its own client iwctl, no other network managers like connman are necessary).
