Ok, you should use xgettext to create a .po file from your test1.py.
Translate that file and use msgfmt to compile it into a .mo file.
Copy this .mo file to /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/

test1.py is wrong, you must give the name of the .mo file.
It must be:  gettext.install('test1.mo', '/usr/share/locale')
Assuming you have called the mo file like that.
