No, I didn't understand it, so I spent some time tracing the python code to try to figure out what you meant. > When the argument of C-version textdomain(3) is NULL, the behavior is > defined and then the compatible functions are needed in Python > applications. > > E.g. > current_domain = textdomain (None) > open (something + current_domain + ".txt", "r") > print dgettext (current_domain + "-lib", "msgid") So you need to retrieve the current domain because you're going to alter it in some cases to retrieve other messages. That wasn't at all clear. I don't see anywhere you're actually doing that, though. Nor do I understand why you'd want to do that. (I can hazily imagine some things, but I'd appreciate a real use-case.) I do see, however, how what the docs call the "class-based API" doesn't allow you to do this (at least, not by default), and how the "GNU gettext API" does. So what I think I need to know now is what domains you're expecting to use in the various pkg(5)-related apps, and in the modules they use. From that, I may be able to figure out how to make the code to manipulate all this stuff more consistent across the .py files. Thanks for walking me through this -- I think I'm beginning to understand this (though that's usually the first sign that I understand nothing at all).
