[Python-3000] gettext (original) (raw)

Are we going to want to keep the "u" variants of the gettext APIs around in 3.0? Also, the unicode parameters (for .install methods) don't make much sense in 3.0.

I don't see how we could remove them in 3.0, but perhaps rename then to their non-"u" variants and deprecate?

I think the new module should only support the Unicode API. gettext is about text, i.e. character strings; there is no need for byte-oriented APIs.

Regards, Martin
