Right. I acted too quickly there, without taking the old Python
versions into account. I haven't touched Python 2.5 or earlier in a
long time, so I tend to forget their limitations. I reverted
python-gettext to its 1.0 release for the ZTK and pulled it in on the
Zope2 level, where we require Python 2.6+ for some time now.

Sure. You could write the code in a different way. I'm just not
motivated to do so myself. Pull requests welcome at
https://github.com/hannosch/python-gettext ;-)
