Thanks for your report. Unfortunately, 2.6 and 3.1 are stable releases, they only get security and documentation fixes. 2.7 is nearly in the same state, since it’s at the release candidate stage. If your bug still applies to 3.2 (branch named “py3k”), please propose a patch. I have added the maintainer of the gettext module and another developer expert in i18n to the nosy list (they are listed in Misc/maintainers.rst). Thanks again!
