Gettext 0.21 is not available in the standard Ubuntu/Mint 20.1 repositories, so people will have to manually install it. Is 0.21 really a requirement? I changed configure.ac to allow the current 0.19 version and it seems to work fine.
I can't believe that they haven't updated gettext to handle f-strings yet. I didn't know that until I saw the changes you made to my patches to switch to .format.

Point release distros sometimes suck in this regard. Things aren’t deemed worthy enough for an update. I love Mint, but after trying Manjaro I’m currently experimenting with ArcoLinuxB-Cinnamon, to have things current. (Which, in turn, of course poses other problems… But so far I’m rather happy.)

Version bumped to test if it would scan python f strings and now reverted back.
