uses a version of the gettext module by
James Henstridge, but this version has a slightly different API. Its
documented usage was:
import gettext
cat = gettext.Catalog(domain, localedir)
_ = cat.gettext
print _('hello world')
For compatibility with this older module, the function
Catalog() is an alias for the the translation()function described above.
One difference between this module and Henstridge's: his catalog
objects supported access through a mapping API, but this appears to be
unused and so is not currently supported.
