Description of problem: msghack crashes Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gettext-0.16.1-8.fc7 How reproducible: msghack --help Actual results: File "/usr/bin/msghack", line 3 SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xf8' in file /usr/bin/msghack on line 3, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details Expected results: Get the help or otherwise function correctly Additional info: The problem is simple, there is a Unicode character in the header crediting one of the coders which crashes the tool in newer versions of Python. I'm not sure if msghack is used much. I use it mostly to empty PO files and create POT file. An alternate might be to extend the Translate Toolkit to do the functions provided by msghack.

Thanks for the fix! Fixing first in Fedora devel gettext-0.16.1-9.fc8. May backport it later to F7.
