That's the recommended fix at the moment.
Once the unicode branch is merged into trunk (probably as part of the
merge), we will remove _() from automatic installation into builtins
altogether. It doesn't really make sense to default to gettext() in a
unicode world and developers should be thinking about whether they
should be using ugettext or gettext or ugettext_lazy or some other
method -- one version isn't always correct. It will also fix problems at
the interactive prompt (where _ is overloaded) and in doctests (for the
same reason)
