When you run xgettext other optparse.py, you get this warning: “'msgid' format string with unnamed arguments cannot be properly localized: The translator cannot reorder the arguments. Please consider using a format string with named arguments, and a mapping instead of a tuple for the arguments.” Attached patch fixes the incorrect calls (my patch for #4391 already fixes two of them). See similar bug and fix for argparse in #10528. Georg, please tell if this can go into 3.2.

Hmm, argparse is new, so that is a different story. Not so sure about optparse, so I would not put this into 3.2.

argparse is not new if you consider that it’s present in 2.7.

I don't understand this. Fixes have already been committed via #4391 but this fix couldn't go ahead. Can somebody please clarify the situation.

The #4391 fixes were only applied to the development branch. So these could be applied to 3.4 at this point, but not 3.3.

I don't see much point doing any work with optparse as it's deprecated.

OK, since there seems to be some concern about backward compatibility (in the related argparse issue) and optparse is indeed no longer maintained, let's close this.
