Check the encoding of the source file. I was using DOS encoding and xgettext couldn't detect multiple lines strings.

I changed the encoding to UTF8 and it worked properly.

Hope it helps,

It works fine here, using 0.18.1.1-1ubuntu2 (but this does not seem to be a downstream patch). Maybe you need to explicitly use xgettext --language=Python ?

Also, you don't need \ for string multiline concatenation. It is implicit in Python:

CODE:
print _("this works fine" \
        " but it is ugly")
print _("this works"
        " just as fine")

OUTPUT:
this works fine but it is ugly
this works just as fine

xgettext POT result:
#: g.py:1242
msgid "this works fine but it is ugly"
msgstr ""

#: g.py:1244
msgid "this works just as fine"
msgstr ""

In python if I split a message to multiple lines like this:
s = _("How are " \
    "you?")

xgettext will detect only the first part of the string:
msgid "How are "
instead of:
msgid "How are you?"

This is necessary to respect the coding style described in PEP 8 to split strings longer than 79 characters.
