What about environments like Google App Engine ? I mean, AFAIK using
ZIP files is the *official* solution to meet some quotas &
requirements ... CMIIW anyway ...
I mean, for example: what if someone writes an app containing
resources like message catalogs for i18n, uploads it to GAE using ZIP
files and still wants to use the MO files (i.e. resources) for
translation (i.e. for anything else ...) ... Hmmmm ?
I mentioned yesterday (in the language summit) that we really need
to get all the requirements together before we start any work. I
fear that there are many hidden requirements (or ones that I'm
personally not aware of, at least). I don't know gettext well enough
give an answer yet.
The class-based API for gettext takes streams, so resource_stream()
would work just fine. I think i18n plugins for Python do not
necessarily need to use the classic gettext API.
