Well, what isn't? I only write software when the moon is increasing.
Additionally, I often sacrifice some non-Python code to the great /dev/null.

Hi,

I'm no expert on this, but if we get a parse tree of a Python file (is this
possible from within Python?), we could just walk the tree and put the argument
to every __tr (or whatever else) call into the message file.


As for the designer replacement: Do you plan world domination before or after
2010? I'd rather wait for the new designer in Qt4 first (they ditched that
horrible MDI interface! finally!).


greetings

Torsten
