Interestingly enough, the final accepted patch (and the 2010 one) also fixes a bug where gettext.install(..., names='ngettext') would incorrectly work, in violation of the documentation.

I think it would also incorrectly install 'gettext', too...

It used to just check if names.__contains__ is a valid attribute, then check if 'foo' in names, so a dumb string "worked" and even matched more things than it should have.

How I discovered this: I fixed a bug in a python project that stopped working on python 3.8, and had a bit of a head-scratch regarding how it ever worked to begin with: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/pull/8964
