My guess is that your system installation of python (/usr/bin/python) is
actually python-3 instead of python-2. The two versions are
incompatible: a python-2 script won't run on python-3 without porting.

On gentoo you can switch your default python version back to 2 by
running the commands:

# eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
  [1]   python2.7
  [2]   python3.1 *
# eselect python set 1

Also note that gentoo has a crda package available which you could use
instead (I'd recommend this if you're not trying to develop crda):

emerge net-wireless/crda

Hope that helps.
