IMO, this is a problem. We can make the Python extraction tool work,
but we should still be very careful about breaking 3rd party tools
like xgettext, since other projects may be using such tools.

But

 _("some string" +
   " and more of it")

is already legal Python, and xgettext is already broken for it. Arguably, xgettext's implementation of -L Python should be

    execve ("pygettext", argv, environ);
