My guess would be someone has used the common convention of naming the
"get the corresponding localised version of this string from the
application's gettext database" function as '_' for convenience.
Funny that this comes up.
I just noticed this in some code I was looking at the other day. A
number of statements in the form:
print _(something)
My question is: Why would anyone decide to obfuscate something as easy
to read as Python??? At first I thought that they were making a function
out of print (which makes some sense), but I don't think that is the
case. I tried (not very hard) to trace back the code to figure out where
_() is being assigned, but gave up. Oh, this is in the gdesklets package
if anyone is interested.
