The great majority of the strings are _(), but in my web app framework
I use __() for that specific purpose you mention, which invokes the
"normal" behaviour of pygettext (which my patch doesn't remove, BTW).
Here is how I invoke pygettext from my Makefile:
POTCMD = pygettext.py \
--verbose --extract-all --no-default-keywords \
--keyword-single=_ --keyword-single=N_ \
--keyword=__
I use _() and N_() for single-line'd strings (runtime and marker-only
versions), and __() for the usual multi-line strings. It works well,
I've been using this for a while on a web application I'm building.
cheers,
