https://docs.python.org/2/library/gettext.html suggests that I use 
msgfmt.py and pygettext.py, available
at Python Subversion ( 
http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Tools/i18n/). What license those 
executable
scripts use? Are they LGPL? I want to convert these executables to 
Python modules and use them in my
applications, but I fear the viral effect of LGPL over my code. Could 
someone clarify if I can do it
without legal concerns?

If this is not the correct mailing list to discuss this topic, pls point 
me to the correct one.
I have found Python-legal-sig@python.org, but it seems quite inactive.
