Interesting! I didn't knew that someone else has already written something so similar to the module 'fintl.py' I wrote last year for the same task, which I submitted to Barry last year. However in my implementation I didn't include the possibility to write GNU '.mo' files. But I think this will be rarely useful in an application program and so will be unnecessary overhead. However my implementation makes use of the C-extension module 'intl.so' by Martin v. Löwis, if it available, which speeds things up a little bit. Only iff 'intl' is not available (may be due to licensing problems, of course this doesn't effect mailman, since it is GPLed or because the application runs on another platform, it will fallback into a pure Python implementation, which is surpringly close to what James H. developed independent from me. I will have a look into what Juan requires for his dynamic loading and whether this can also be done if using my version 'fintl.py'.
