That appears not to be the case: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/z3c.form/2.4.3
has a source distribution (z3c.form-2.4.3.zip) which contains a few *.mo
files inside.

There's also a MANIFEST.in with

  global-include *.mo

in it.

And then what?  Surely just having python-gettext installed and a couple
of environment variables defined is not enough to magically produce .mo
files -- I would also need to run some Python script somewhere,
presumably.  Is it z3c.form's bin/pocompile?
