+"""pygettext -- Python equivalent of xgettext(1)
+
+Many systems (Solaris, Linux, Gnu) provide extensive tools that ease the
+internationalization of C programs. Most of these tools are independent of
+the programming language and can be used from within Python programs. Martin
+von Loewis' work[1] helps considerably in this regard.
+
+There's one hole though; xgettext is the program that scans source code
+looking for message strings, but it groks only C (or C++). Python introduces
+a few wrinkles, such as dual quoting characters, triple quoted strings, and
+raw strings. xgettext understands none of this.
+
+Enter pygettext, which uses Python's standard tokenize module to scan Python
+source code, generating .pot files identical to what GNU xgettext[2] generates
+for C and C++ code. From there, the standard GNU tools can be used.
+
+A word about marking Python strings as candidates for translation. GNU
+xgettext recognizes the following keywords: gettext, dgettext, dcgettext, and
+gettext_noop. But those can be a lot of text to include all over your code.
+C and C++ have a trick: they use the C preprocessor. Most internationalized C
+source includes a #define for gettext() to _() so that what has to be written
+in the source is much less. Thus these are both translatable strings:
+
+ gettext("Translatable String")
+ _("Translatable String")
+
+Python of course has no preprocessor so this doesn't work so well. Thus,
+pygettext searches only for _() by default, but see the -k/--keyword flag
+below for how to augment this.
+
+ [1] http://www.python.org/workshops/1997-10/proceedings/loewis.html
+ [2] http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/gettext.html
+
+
+NOTE: pygettext attempts to be option and feature compatible with GNU xgettext
+where ever possible.
+
+Usage: pygettext [options] filename ...
+
+Options:
+
+ -a
+ --extract-all
+ Extract all strings
+
+ -d default-domain
+ --default-domain=default-domain
+ Rename the default output file from messages.pot to default-domain.pot
+
+ -k [word]
+ --keyword[=word]
+ Additional keywords to look for. Without `word' means not to use the
+ default keywords. The default keywords, which are always looked for
+ if not explicitly disabled: _
+
+ The default keyword list is different than GNU xgettext. You can have
+ multiple -k flags on the command line.
+
+ --no-location
+ Do not write filename/lineno location comments
+
+ -n [style]
+ --add-location[=style]
+ Write filename/lineno location comments indicating where each
+ extracted string is found in the source. These lines appear before
+ each msgid. Two styles are supported:
+
+ Solaris # File: filename, line: line-number
+ Gnu #: filename:line
+
+ If style is omitted, Gnu is used. The style name is case
+ insensitive. By default, locations are included.
+
+ --help
+ -h
+ print this help message and exit
