Flit gettext

Compiling gettext i18n messages during project bundling.

"Binary files should never be committed to a repository to promote transparency and security." That is why this project was created.

Usage

Simple, just add flit-gettext to your pyproject.toml build-system requirements and set the build-backend:

# pyproject.toml
[build-system]
requires = [
  "flit-gettext[scm]",  # [scm] is optional
  # …others, like wheel, etc.
]
# using flit-core as a base build-backend
build-backend = "flit_gettext.core"
# or using flit-scm as a base build-backend for git-based versioning
build-backend = "flit_gettext.scm"
# To use use flit-scm, you will need to include the optional dependency above.

Please make sure, your build system has gettext installed. If you ship wheels, those will include the compiled .mo files.

That's it!
