I can reproduce some error with Record, though I'm not sure it's the same one since you didn't provide the actual error message. This is what I see:

(sugar-jhbuild1)sascha.silbe@twin:~/sugar-jhbuild/source/record$ ~/sugar-jhbuild/sugar-jhbuild run ./setup.py genpot
Warning: unknown distro version, automatic fallback to unstable.

                       Please consider using a format string with named arguments,
                       and a mapping instead of a tuple for the arguments.

xgettext: Non-ASCII string at network.py:547.
          Please specify the source encoding through --from-code.
ERROR - xgettext failed with return code 1.
(sugar-jhbuild1)sascha.silbe@twin:~/sugar-jhbuild/source/record$

Line 547 of network.py contains:

        pattern = "([\xf6-\xf7][\x80-\xbf]{0,2}|[\xe0-\xef][\x80-\xbf]{0,1}|[\xc0-\xdf])$"

Note that this is a byte string constant (not a unicode one) and there's no use of any translation related function on this line (and it doesn't get translated anywhere else in the code either). The non-ASCII bytes are fragments of UTF-8 sequences, so the byte string cannot be decoded to any sequence of characters, no matter what encoding.

Looks like an xgettext bug to me. Please report it upstream.

Thanks for the follow-up, pogenerator is not so well trained for error outputs.yes this is the error I'm seeing also.

reporting upstream..

Regarding, the Record error reported above: network.py was only ever in the Record repo by accident. Removing it has now caused pootle to carry on updating the pot file as normal.

You will still have this issue for Arithmetic, Gogo and Maze. It would probably be worth verifying that it is the same error - xgettext choking on untranslated strings.

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from assigned to closed

The pending activities (Arithmetic, Gogo and Maze) do not show errors in Pootle log.
