That's wierd because the code reads:

path = __file__
for N in 1, 2:
    path = os.path.dirname(path)
    # path is /usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages
_ldir = os.path.join(path, sys.prefix[1:], 'share', 'locale')
if os.path.isdir(_ldir):
    LOCALE_DIRS.append(_ldir)
del _ldir

That should add _ldir to LOCALE_DIRS only if _ldir is a directory. It
takes the path of i18n.py (I assume:
/nobackup/ralf/checkout/sourceforge/roundup.hg.tip/i18n.py) and
reduces it to:

  /nobackup/ralf/checkout/sourceforge/roundup.hg.tip
  /nobackup/ralf/checkout/sourceforge

so I am not sure where /nobackup/ralf/share/locale even came from.

Hmph.
