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.
