Hi Raji,
Did you have a look at the documentation for the call that's failing?

Here's the doc for gettext.translation():
http://docs.python.org/library/gettext.html#gettext.translation

I don't know anything about gettext or openastro, but the doc says, "If no .mo file is found, this function raises IOError..." which is the problem you're having. It seems like what you downloaded is expecting to find a .mo file but can't. You might want to check the package instructions on openastro.org to make sure there's not more you need to do to install it.

Good luck
Philip
