empty help_text gives some django var

[onno]

intensitiy_met = models.DecimalField(_('intensity met'), max_digits=5, decimal_places=2, null=True, blank=True, help_text=_())

The following line in my code gives this back in the admin:
Project-Id-Version: Django Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: POT-Creation-Date: 2008-09-02 22:36-0700 PO-Revision-Date: YEAR-MO-DA HO:MI+ZONE Last-Translator: FULL NAME Language-Team: LANGUAGE MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

I don't think this is correct

This doesn't need be marked for the 1.1 release, does it?

Your help text is not empty. You're gettext'ing an empty string, which will give you the PO meta information.

[Alex Gaynor]

That's what gettext does for an empty string, if you dont' want that don't try to translate a , if you just want no need to translate it.
