Can it be the case that, when one uses gettext, this works:


# Some way to get _() as a builtin
translation = gettext.GNUTranslations(open('mylanguage.mo','rb'))
translation.install()

# This works:
def test():
    print _("Hello")

# This works not as expected:
def [html] test2():
    print _("Hello")


Seems that python's _ method (the builtin one, via the install() method)
is only for strings, but in the second case the "Hello" is no longer a
string.

What is your method to i10n/i18n Quixote Applications?
