Fedora 16 comes with a package python3-babel. However that module does not work (as noted in bug 537266). For example: >>> import babel Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/babel/__init__.py", line 29, in <module> from babel.core import * File "/usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/babel/core.py", line 19, in <module> from babel import localedata File "/usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/babel/localedata.py", line 26, in <module> from UserDict import DictMixin ImportError: No module named UserDict You really have to wait until I fixed http://babel.edgewall.org/ticket/209 . No ETA yet though it'll be within the next month.
I'd like to bump this bug again - currently Fedora distributes a non-functional package. The current package is not useful at all, you can not even import main module! Please remove python3-babel for now.
