gettext again

[cantabile]

Hi,
I'm failing to make it work but can't find out what's wrong. Here's what 
I do :

================
test.py

import gettext
gettext.install('')

msg = _("Message without accented characters")

print msg
================

Then I do :

xgettext test.py

mv message.po message pot

msginit --> output message.fr_FR at euro

I edit my fr_FR at euro with this text :
     msgid "This is a message without accented characters."
     msgstr "Message avec caractères accentués : éèàùëêôîaâç"

Then msgfmt fr_FR at euro

Then python test.py shows "Message without accented characters"

How come ? What's wrong with what I am doing ?

Thanks for your help.
