<p dir="auto">polib has been available in distributions for a very long time, and it is very small (~100K); see: <br>

<p dir="auto">Looking at Ubuntu, it is available as Python 3 for a long time already:</p>
<pre class="code highlight js-syntax-highlight shell" lang="shell" v-pre="true"><code><span id="LC1" class="line" lang="shell"><span class="nv">$ </span>rmadison <span class="nt">-u</span> ubuntu python3-polib</span>
<span id="LC2" class="line" lang="shell"> python3-polib | 0.7.0-2 | precise/universe | all</span>
<span id="LC3" class="line" lang="shell"> python3-polib | 1.0.4-1 | trusty | all</span>
<span id="LC4" class="line" lang="shell"> python3-polib | 1.0.7-1 | xenial | all</span>
<span id="LC5" class="line" lang="shell"> python3-polib | 1.1.0-3 | bionic | all</span>
<span id="LC6" class="line" lang="shell"> python3-polib | 1.1.0-3 | disco | all</span>
<span id="LC7" class="line" lang="shell"> python3-polib | 1.1.0-3 | eoan | all</span>
<span id="LC8" class="line" lang="shell"> python3-polib | 1.1.0-7 | focal | all</span>

<p dir="auto">Hence I do not see a problem using it unconditionally; unless there is a strong need for <em>not</em> using it, I do not think it is a good idea to micromanage and split scripts that are mostly useful for (few) developers.</p>
<p dir="auto">Also, the previous parsing code was incorrect: it considered the header as valid message... This is exactly why I rather prefer to use an existing library, in this case widely available, small and stable, rather than reinventing the wheel in the wrong way.</p>
