[issue1649329] Support for non-filesystem-based catalogs in gettext

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

The specific problem of gettext+eggs seems to be solved by this project: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/EggTranslations/

Since the egg format is not retained in distutils2, I don’t think any support for it should be added in the stdlib.

FWIW, I like the use of file-like objects to build Translation instances.  It’s easier to specify than a VFS and very versatile.
