django + GAE + app-engine-patch + i18n (+ Mac)

[boson]

Anybody have luck with this combo: django + GAE + app-engine-patch +
i18n ?

I'm on Mac OS X 10.5. First I had to get the gettext package from
Fink.

But now still when I run "manage.py makemessages -l en", I get:

Error: errors happened while running xgettext on __init__.py
/bin/sh: xgettext: command not found

Where would I get xgettext (what is it even), and how can I get i18n
working?

Thank you.

Hello,

I had the same error on WinXP. That is because 'GNU Gettext' is not
installed or not added in systems Path. I am Guessing it will be
similar case on Apple.

Before using Django, try to run xgettext under Shell.

Well as I said I installed the getttext package from Fink (archive of
Mac GNU packages, etc.). It didn't come with xgettext, and there's no
xgettext on my system other than "xgettext.pl" in the Apple developer
folders. When I symlinked that as "xgettext", I got a bunch of errors
running makemessages anyway, so I'm not thinking it's the same.

Is "xgettext" supposed to be part of gettext? Maybe somebody packaged
it wrong...
