Hi,
If I do (in python):
print gettext("")
that is sending an empty string to gettext. This is not the normal, but can
happen by mistake.
The header from the current *.mo file is printed.
Is this to be regarded as a bug?
The only bug in this case is the fact that you tried to translate the empty string. gettext() is documented as requiring a non-empty string, and by passing an empty string, you are violating the contract.
