Description

In Python 3, there is no more gettext/ugettext, only gettext. Aymeric has already aliased ugettext to gettext in recent code when run on Python 3. I would suggest to go one step further and alias them even now on Python 2. I don't see any value to keep a gettext call that returns utf-8 encoded strings.

Has patch: set

Note that I didn't deprecate the ugettext/ungettext names yet. It might not be worth the trouble.

If I understand correctly, this patch is backwards incompatible for people who rely on gettext returning a str on Python 2.

I don't think we can change the behavior of these functions on Python 2 without running into trouble.

I wouldn't be as much conservative, but you have a point. Closing.
