Following the direction for i18n using gettext, I've installed gettext
(tried 0.17 and 0.18.X) on several Windows machines and always fail with
the same error:
{{{
CommandError: errors happened while running xgettext on __init__.py
xgettext: error while opening ".\__init__.py" for reading: No such file or
directory
}}}
The most obvious suspect is a bad relative path, so I've traced the
problem to this area (lines 189-204) in
core/management/commands/makemessage.py:
{{{
content = templatize(src_data, orig_file[2:])
f = open(os.path.join(dirpath, thefile), "w")
try:
f.write(content)
finally:
f.close()
work_file = os.path.join(dirpath, thefile)
cmd = (
'xgettext -d %s -L Python %s %s --keyword=gettext_noop '
'--keyword=gettext_lazy --keyword=ngettext_lazy:1,2 '
'--keyword=ugettext_noop --keyword=ugettext_lazy '
'--keyword=ungettext_lazy:1,2 --keyword=pgettext:1c,2 '
'--keyword=npgettext:1c,2,3 --keyword=pgettext_lazy:1c,2 '
'--keyword=npgettext_lazy:1c,2,3 --from-code UTF-8 '
'--add-comments=Translators -o - "%s"' %
(domain, wrap, location, work_file))
}}}
The fix was simple, replacing {{{work_file = os.path.join(dirpath,
thefile)}}} with {{{work_file = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(dirpath,
thefile))}}} solved the issue.
Please look into making all paths absolute in management commands
(especially ones that run external utils). Attached my fixed
makemessages.py file.
