poparser

A python parser for gettext catalog files

How to use

Use the parse() method to get the table of symbols with the grouped data for each msgid

import poparser
poparser.parse(filename)

Example

Here you can see what the function outputs for the below gettext file:

#
#  <>, 2012.
#
msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: Project X\n"
"Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2013-05-17 19:51+0200\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: 2013-05-10 13:58+0100\n"
"Last-Translator: \n"
"Language-Team: \n"
"Language: es_ES\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
"X-Poedit-KeywordsList: _;gettext;gettext_noop;translate\n"
"X-Poedit-Basepath: /path/to/project\n"
"X-Poedit-SourceCharset: UTF-8\n"
"X-Poedit-SearchPath-0: application\n"

# An author comment
#. A comment in code
#: application/foo.php:21
#: application/bar.php:10
#, fuzzy
msgid "Hello wordl!"
msgstr "Hola mundo!"

This will output:

[[('TRANSLATOR_COMMENT', ''),
  ('TRANSLATOR_COMMENT', '<>, 2012.'),
  ('TRANSLATOR_COMMENT', ''),
  ('MSG_ID', ''),
  ('MSG_STR',
   'Project-Id-Version: Project X\\n"\nReport-Msgid-Bugs-To: \\n"\nPOT-Creation-Date: 2013-05-17 19:51+0200\\n"\nPO-Revision-Date: 2013-05-10 13:58+0100\\n"\nLast-Translator: \\n"\nLanguage-Team: \\n"\nLanguage: es_ES\\n"\nMIME-Version: 1.0\\n"\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\\n"\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\\n"\nX-Poedit-KeywordsList: _;gettext;gettext_noop;translate\\n"\nX-Poedit-Basepath: /path/to/project\\n"\nX-Poedit-SourceCharset: UTF-8\\n"\nX-Poedit-SearchPath-0: application\\n"\n')],
