gettext crazy question

[ulysses]

hi,

I want to translate my app to Chinese use gettext module in python22,wxpython.
I have get pot file, use msgfmt convert to mo file. But if I type some line
character , app can't load MO file.
trans = gettext.GNUTranslations(open('en.mo'))
raise a error , error message is "unpack str size does not match format"

exp:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Project-Id-Version: PACKAGE VERSION\n"
"POT-Creation-Date: Mon Aug 25 16:40:30 2003\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: YEAR-MO-DA HO:MI+ZONE\n"
"Last-Translator: FULL NAME <EMAIL@ADDRESS>\n"
"Language-Team: LANGUAGE <[email protected]>\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
"Generated-By: pygettext.py 1.5\n"

#: AboutForm.py:56
msgid "Author"
msgstr "chinese character"

#: AboutForm.py:62
msgid "Donate To"
msgstr ""

#: AboutForm.py:70
msgid "Close"
msgstr "chinese character"

If i don't fill 62 , app is ok.

So I debug gettext module. I find following interest question.
-=gettext line 154=-
buf = fp.read()

I sure fp(file object) has open.

It can't read all binary code. buf 's lengh smaller than real file.
exp ,whole file 1000 byte. gettext only read 187 .

So raise unpack error at gettext line 167
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
tlen, toff = unpack(ii, buf[transidx:transidx+8])
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because request transidx doesn't exit.

then I remove 62 line ,left empty. App can work.
I open the mo file by ultraedit and compare the different .
I notice the read function broken position bytecode is 0x1A
but good mo same position is 0x0A. so I change the bad mo to 0A.
It's work.

It's really crazy .I don't know where and why I get failure.
If you help us explain the puzzle I very appreciate.

It looks like the file is opened in text mode, not in binary mode.

Did you, by chance, open the file yourself? You should use binary
mode, then.

I use same statement open file. different is MO file.
when don't fill some line, gettext can open mo normally.

Can you please post a bug report to SourceForge then? Please include
the .mo file, and a small Python script showing the error.

Do you mean http://gettext.sourceforge.net/ ?
Can I Email to you , sample script and MO file.
I promise It's very small . I don't how to write to SF.
Somebody help me translate my app (turbobt) www.turbobt.com to germany.
But I meet same question. Use iso8859-1,8BIT.
If mo file have 0x1A char, gettext can't load it.
Thanks.

See the SF report. You need to open mo files in binary mode.
