pojson
pojson is a tool that allows you to create JSON data files from PO files. These files are designed to be used with Obviel's i18n support.
The Javascript Gettext already provides a Perl-based tool (po2json) that is very similar, so this can be seen as a rewrite to Python. One difference is that pojson does not output domain information in the resulting datastructure - it is one level less deep. The domain information must instead be supplied when the file is loaded.
Basic use to generate a JSON file:
$ pojson <path/to/po>
Pretty-print output:
$ pojson -p <path/to/po>
Help:
$ pojson --help
Normally you would send the output to a file, such as:
$ pojson something.po > something.json
Normally pojson will try to guess the encoding of the .po file, but you can also explicitly supply an encoding:
$ pojson -e utf-8 something.po > something.json

CHANGES
0.4 (2012-06-20)
- Totally break the command line interface to simplify options. We only want to generate those JSON files that Obviel i18n likes. Works with Obviel 1.0b2 and later.
0.3 (2011-06-02)
- Actually got the output wrong so jsgettext couldn't work with it. Fixed.
- Some sanity checking that the input file has the .po extension, as evidently polib accepts any file and still gives output...
0.2 (2011-06-02)
- Error when referring to non-existent po file
0.1 (2011-05-04)
- Initial release.
