    initial v1  
    1313and then tell the build backend (not necessarily setuptools) to produce *.mo files when building a wheel distribution. Either gettext or babel would be a requirement to build either a Django checkout or a source distribution. This would be a better fit for PEP-517 and require less documentation than reminding people to compilemessages before installing or packaging Django while tox could be responsible for producing *.mo files in the CI. But maybe this is an over-engineered idea.

    15 I have a sense this is not addressed because of certain FUD while obviating real recurring "mo and po files out of sync" issues in the whole django ecosystem https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/8732 . Yes, contributors will be pushed a new build-time dependency if they expect their non-wheel installs to be localized. As it should always have been! Translators should be familiar with gettext anyway, irrespective of their platform.
