   Hi Torsten,

 I think you were confused by the .class files in the
/usr/share/jython/Lib directory.  These class files are the result of
the byte-compilation of the Lib python files by the Jython compiler.
These files are completely and transparently handled by the Jython
interpreter much like the .pyo and .pyc files for Python.  They are
not supposed to be directly accessed by users.

 The Jython public API is included in the /usr/share/java/jython.jar
file, and I think it follows the Debian Java policy.

 I think the real issue for libfreemarker-java is that the public API
for Jython has changed between Jython 2.2 and 2.5 and so the Jython wrapper
of freemarker needs to be ported to Jython 2.5.

 You are right about the .exe files.  I'll have a look at that. But I
wonder if that is not part of the Python distutil distribution.
