Django 1.11.9
== Steps to reproduce
{{{
django-admin startproject mysite
cd mysite/mysite
mkdir locale
}}}
Edit urls.py to add this line at the end:
{{{
_('hello')
}}}
Create messages:
{{{
django-admin makemessages -l de
}}}
Edit urls.py again to add this line at the end:
{{{
pgettext_lazy('context', '')
}}}
Update messages:
{{{
django-admin makemessages
}}}
== Result
The locale/de/django.po file obtained is the following:
{{{

# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
# FIRST AUTHOR <EMAIL@ADDRESS>, YEAR.

}}}
The unexpected behavior is the repetition of some header lines. This seems
to only happen with empty strings in the Python code. While a bit odd, I
think empty strings are valid strings (at least with a context) that may
sometimes need translation.
