Ah, good job. If I may suggest, I think this code should be carefully stored
where admins will find it when they need it. That means: would you care to
open a ticket in https://admin-trac.openmoko.org/trac about "Research and
implement i18n in planet" and attach it there ?
The Right Thing to do would be to upgrade or patch the aggregator used by
Openmoko for the planet. I think that they are using planetplanet (or is it
named venus now ?) which happens to be in Python too.
Yours,
Minh
