pygettext ?

[cantabile]

Hi, I'm trying to write an internationalized app. I'm learning python
and read that pygettext would help me, but I found elsewhere it was
obsolete (??)
So, what's the correct and up to date tool to i18n python ?
Is there a tutorial somewhere (python docs has nothing really usable :
I'd like at least an example!)

Do you have links to pages or documents about that ?

Thanks

Hi

I'm pretty new to Python, and recently been working my way through
Dive Into Python, and I'm currently writing a really simple rss reader
purely to get familiarised with the language. I want to move onto
something a little more challenging, but I'm stuck for ideas on what
to do.

I'm after a project that can start quite simple, but has lots of room
for expansion when I get more confident with Python. Ideally
something which would start as a command line program, and then when I
feel adventurous I could build a GUI for it.

I have just bought the Foundations of Python Network Programming book,
so maybe something network related would be good?

Cheers
Jon

Here's a page from wxPython wiki, but I think it may be usable also with
other GUI toolkits, as it contains many generic introductory
informations: http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/Internationalization

Also, check sources of some existing application that has good i18n
implementation, Gajim (http://www.gajim.org/) comes first to my mind.

Short answer: the functionality of pygettext has been incorporated in
the main gettext tool, so pygettext is obsolete.

Excuse me but what has this answer to do with my question ?

I saw a competition in Linux format - may be something to consider.
