Yep, no disagreement. A lot of things 'should' be though, and 
technically it is (which docs being the key, lol):

$man pygettext

PYGETTEXT(1)                                       General Commands 
Manual                                      PYGETTEXT(1)

NAME
        pygettext - Python equivalent of xgettext(1)

SYNOPSIS
        pygettext [OPTIONS] INPUTFILE ...

DESCRIPTION
        pygettext is deprecated. The current version of xgettext 
supports many languages, including Python.

        pygettext  uses Python's standard tokenize module to scan Python 
source code, generating .pot files identical to what
        GNU xgettext generates for C and C++ code.  From there, the 
standard GNU tools can be used.

        pygettext searches only for _() by default, even though GNU 
xgettext  recognizes  the  following  keywords:  gettext,
        dgettext, dcgettext, and gettext_noop. See the -k/--keyword flag 
below for how to augment this.


(I have never used either, I just spent a few minutes trying to be 
helpful =P)
