   gettext() cannot find translations for messages that have plural forms. I would expect that gettext(s) is equivalent to ngettext(s, s, 1) for such messages, as it is implemented in GNU gettext.

   >>> import gettext
   >>> with open('test.mo', 'rb') as mo: trans = gettext.GNUTranslations(mo)
   ... 
   >>> trans.ngettext("egg", "eggs", 1)
   'Ei'
   >>> trans.gettext("egg")
   'egg'

   Hi there,

   I worked on a patch for this issue (see attached pull request).

   I would be happy to discuss it with people involved in gettext module maintenance but I'm not sure how to contact them. Is there a dedicated mailing list or an IRC channel or something? I've found i18n-sig but it has been inactive for 5 years...

   Best regards
   Gilles
