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.
Yep, but the idiom that *gettext accepts is used far more often. If
that's outlawed then the tools /have/ to be taught the alternative.
Arguably, xgettext's implementation of -L Python should be
execve ("pygettext", argv, environ);
Ouch. :)
