Description
According to the documentation:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#now
b Month, textual, 3 letters, lowercase.
However the French translation for the month of August is currently "aout" (4 chars).
This cause an url pattern like (?P<month>\w\w\w) to throw a NoReverseMatch in French.
The attached patch fix the issue.

mtredinnick,
You didn't apply the right fix, you've mix up 'aug' and 'August'!

Added a patch that restores the full "August" translation and uses 3-char abbr. for both "aug" and "Aug.". Not sure whether that last one is correct though since it wasn't part of the original request -- can anyone with better knowledge of French than me either confirm or explain why you wouldn't want to consistently abbreviate it?

Replying to kmtracey:

Karen, your patch is correct except for msgid "Aug." which shouldn't be changed (it should remain "août"). This is because August in French only has 4 letters and so it doesn't need to be abbreviated (since "Aug." also has 4 characters).
However, I've noticed something strange. Why is April not abbreviated? There is no msgid "Apr."...

OK, thanks, I fixed the patch to not mess with the "Aug." translation. Based on where the string comes from, actually, I see it isn't a 3-letter abbreviation, really, it's just the Associated Press style name. Apparently AP abbreviates only months with more than 5 chars in their name, so March, April, May, June, and July don't get abbreviated, plus September gets a 4-letter abbr. instead of 3 like the rest that get abbreviated.
