Bug#414847: antlr: violates the new py policy

[Bernd Zeimetz]

Package: antlr
Version: 2.7.6-7
Severity: important

Heya,

the antlr package is violating the new py policy [1] as it provides a
public extension to python, but neither provides python-antlr nor uses
python-support or python-central to to bytecompile the modules at
installation time.


Best regards,

Bernd Zeimetz
