How to use lazy_gettext with Pylons and setup.py

Question

Hello.

Just a quick question. When I use the _() function provided by the Pylons i18n module, everything works just as expected. My problem is with the lazy version of this function, lazy_gettext. When I run :

python setup.py extract_messages

I get in the POT file the strings to be translated with the _() function, but not those wuth lazy_gettext(). How may I get it to work ?

Thanks.

In the modules where you use lazy_gettext(), just assign _ = lazy_gettext and use _() instead.
