Hi, As the maintainer of the jython package, I agree that these three files should not be installed. My next upload of the package will remove them and all jython tests, mainly because it will save space. Indeed I think this check is a bit too strict anyway for two reasons: 1. These files are actually test data for the Python object file parsers of Jython. I think they are out of scope of the Python policy. So this check should at least be overridable. 2. The Python policy section "2.6 Modules Byte-Compilation" reads """If a binary package provides any binary-independent modules (foo.py files), the corresponding byte-compiled modules (foo.pyc files) and optimized modules (foo.pyo files) must not ship in the package.""" But there is no associated source file (*.py) installed alongside these *.pyc files. So I think they should have been ignored by the check. Regards, -- Nicolas Duboc <nduboc@debian.org>
