Dear mailing list,

The documentation for i18n support is a bit outdated. It mentions
pygettext, but it seems that pygettext was declared obsolete by just about
anybody in 2004 and was replaced by its original implementation "xgettext".

Here's a link to the part of the documentation, which is outdated:
http://docs.python.org/3.3/library/gettext.html#id3

And some proof of pygettext not being used anymore since 2004:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=246332

Sincerely,
Tom Wallroth
