Re: [bug-gettext] Problems at run-time retrieval of msgid with '\\n'

[Felix Schwarz]

sorry for spamming:
I just remembered that mo files are not opaque binary files but are mostly
text with some binary bytes. So I checked my .mo file and indeed the msgid was
compiled as
  "Please use \n for newlines" (single backslash, so it's a newline)

With a quick hack in pybabel's mo file writing I was able to verify that the
runtime works okay but msgfmt does not handle '\\n' correctly.
