In the Python code when he used a MessageID and not a string.

I think you do not know that there is no need for explicit use of 
i18n:translate when rendering a MessageID. The interpreter finds out by 
itself and translate.

This let each member of the team manage his part of the job : python 
coders take care of strings that should be translated by using MessageID 
and template designers take of their strings by inserting i18n namespace 
where needed.

With the current implementation, the template designer does not need to 
know if what he'll get from the python code needs to be translated or 
not : which is good imho.
