Actually, no. I'd like to stick it into Lib/somewhere, so it is easy to
locate through

os.path.join(os.path.dirname(gettext.__file__), 'messages')

Even more importantly, putting it into Lib means it is simpler to have
it installed.

If you think it helps, finding it through

import messages
messages.docstrings('de')

might be an option; messages/__init__.py would then have the proper
magic.
