[finding Tools/i18n/pygettext.py]

You're right, I think Tools is probably a bad place for anything. If it's not part of the stdlib, I'll likely never find it.

Agreed. Maybe with the introduction of -m in Python 2.4, some of the Tools/ scripts could be put in main sections of appropriate modules? So that "python -m gettext" would be equivilant to "python Tools/i18n/pygettext.py"?

(However, pyggettext.py is 22KB, which is a big addition to the module; not everything in Tools/Scripts might be used enough for this, or have an appopriate module to be put in either).

Are there other ideas about how Tools/ could be improved? Either moving things, or making it more likely that people will look there for scripts?
