where to place mo

Hi, all

I have a question:

Where is the right place for *.mo files of wxPython application running on Windows system?
Or maybe the best way is to place them somewhere in C: and call for 'wxLocale_AddCatalogLookupPathPrefix()'?

Thanks!

As of 2.4.0.4 the wxWindows catalogs will get installed with wxPython to .../wxPython/locale/. You can put yours there too, but it might be better to keep them with your app.

Yep, you can make an application specific directory and add it to the search path when your program starts.

You know, maybe what's needed is some equiv to img2py for
translations, so they can be directly embedded within the module
structure. I'd much rather trust python's handling of the site-package
directory than leave it up to storing my .mo's within the filesystem,
unix, windows or otherwise. Would that work with the existing objects?
Could we feed them the translation files somehow? Just thinking out
loud...
