I had code in my packaging that was supposed to remove those files for 
the python3-package. The *_java.py files are intended to provide jython 
support according to upstream, and jython is not available for python3. 
These files aren't relevant for this package, so I will make sure that 
they are removed from python3-cobra.

Thanks and regards
Afif
