glib2 does not include files from glib2-devel. It is an issue, at least on
RHEL5, where it fails with some AM_ macro undefined. Even after installing
glib2-devel, it fails to rpmbuild because in %install it tries to install to /
root, not RPM_BUILD_ROOT. Have you tried it in some linux ?

Yes, you're correct, msgfmt should be used the one present in the system, and
dogtail already contains BuildReq gettext, so that's fine. Let's forget the
msgfmt.py. 

I know about intltool and .desktop file, yes intltool is nice - i tried it on
.glade for sniff, it works fine. But - afaik it has zero support for python,
just as the whole autotools and gettext. How can i expect xgettext to get .pot
files when it doesn't recognize python syntax ?

Aside from this, i would like much more to use python's facilities (gettext,
distutils) than intltool/automake for a *python* project. Unfortunately
python's support for i18n isn't all-star either.

I'll take a look. Thanks ! :)
