Tested it, it works just fine. Great job! :)

... excepted when Talan lets me in, I get (was inspired to compile
Python debugging in :))

Error in statement
  self.the_npc.set_dialogue ("dialogues/talan_start")
  exceptions.TypeError:
    'eval() argument 2 must be dictionary, not int'

It can't set the new dialog, I still get the old one if I talk to Talan
again. I wasn't able to figure out what's wrong. Note that I replaced my
adonthell.pyc module with the new one generated by make.

I'd love to test it, but where do I find pygettest.py?

I suppose they should go into the game data dir - <gamedatadir>/po makes
sense to me. Relying on the classic system where catalog goes into
/usr/share/locale could make problems with non-unix platforms.

Did I mention it was great work? ;)
