    Description     : Compile .po files into .mo files

This extension for setuptools compiles gettext .po files
found in the source directory into .mo files and installs them.

How does this tool differ from 'msgfmt' from 'gettext'?

It's a wrapper around msgfmt, but making it convenient to run from setuptools.
I'll clarify that in the final description.

Sorry to bother you again.

Today I found the following post:
https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/python-subprocess-module

Wouldn't this package effectively be 'subprocess.run("msgfmt")'?
Or would the package name 'python3-gettext' be more suitable?

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus
