Resets settings if before defining DATABASES use ugettext or ugettext_lazy

[Lagovas]

Code like:

from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
class SOME_SETTINGS_CONSTANT:
    A=1_(u'a')
    B=2
    CHOICES = (
        A,  _(u'a')
        B,  _(u'b')
    )
    TEXT_CHOICES = {k:v for k, v in CHOICES}

After that expression TEXT_CHOICES ... fetch translated value and resets settings like if u used ugettext in settings.py. But if place this expression at the end of settings then all is ok.

Could you edit the description to fix the syntax errors in your example and also elaborate on the problem a bit? I'm having trouble understanding what the problem/expected behavior is. Maybe an example shell session would help.

You should never call any django.utils.translation method inside a settings.py file, as it will most probably lead to circular imports.
Use some noop method like gettext_noop = lambda s: s in the settings file so as the string is extracted in po files, then call ugettext or ugettext_lazy later in your code when you use that value to translate it.

I may be wrong with ugettext_lazy not being usable in settings files (thanks Baptiste for correcting me). Sorry.
However, as Tim said, we still need some more code/explanations to understand what your issue really is.
