[New-bugs-announce] [issue10766] optparse uses %s in gettext calls

[Éric Araujo]

New submission from Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org>:

When you run xgettext other optparse.py, you get this warning:
“'msgid' format string with unnamed arguments cannot be properly localized: The translator cannot reorder the arguments.  Please consider using a format string with named arguments, and a mapping instead of a tuple for the arguments.”

Attached patch fixes the incorrect calls (my patch for #4391 already fixes two of them).

See similar bug and fix for argparse in #10528.  Georg, please tell if this can go into 3.2.
