+# This code is in the public domain.
+#
+# This is a wrapper around 'pybabel' that sets our include path
+# to find the 'i18nfix' module.  It takes the name of the
+# pybabel program as the first argument (must be a Python script!)
+# and passes the other arguments to pybabel after setting our
+# sys.path.
+#
+import shutil
+import sys
+
+# First, extend the search path as needed (without setting PYTHONPATH!)
+sys.path.insert(0, ".")
+
+# Now, find the actual pybabel program in the $PATH
+pb=shutil.which(sys.argv[1])
+
+# Remove 'pybabel' from argv[] so that pybabel doesn't confuse
+# itself for the first command-line argument ;-)
+sys.argv.remove(sys.argv[1])
+
+# Now we can run pybabel. Yeah!
