[I18n-sig] Help with getText lib

[Michel Martin]

I have difficulty using getText. In fact, I'm able to create my .po files and my
.mo files. But I'm not able to read/retrieve them using either
"gettext.install(...)" or  "gettext.find(...)".

Does any one have a complete example on how to use getText in a python application?

Here are the details of my work...

I use Windows2000 Pro and Python 2.3
My dev path is c:\dev
My python file is c:\dev\ which contains:
=================
import gettext
gettext.install('dev', 'c:\dev\locale', unicode=1)
print _('Hello world!')
=================

My .mo file is C:\dev\locale\en\LC_MESSAGES\dev.mo which came from
My .po file is C:\dev\locale\en\LC_MESSAGES\dev.po which contains
=================
