Yes. We are using it for CMF. But it was not fun to write the CMF code. 
Generally useful stuff is in utilities/i18nextract.py and zope specific 
stuff in zope.app.locales.extract. I did have to copy a lot from 
i18nextract.py and override many methods for changes that should be 
configurable. Extraction from ZCML still doesn't work.

I don't want to blame anybody for that. Just say that the people who 
wrote it did not focus on writing reusable code.
