parsing gettext .po files with python?

[Radovan Garabik]

Is there a module (or something) to parse gettext .po files?
I need to extract translated messages from a bunch of .po files,
and while I could write my own script to do that, I'd rather
not invest the time into reinventing the wheel, if something 
similar already exists
thanks
