Hi Mike! The symbol already exists and is used in other languages (other than Python) as well. It is a standard created by GNU gettext and is already used in TurboGears. The proposal is to use this same symbol everywhere instead of mixing it with the method 'lazy_gettext' and asking for the developer to know when to use each one. The idea is to have one and only one way to do the right thing here. -- Jorge Godoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
