Emmanuel,

The problem doing this, is that if antlr3 evolves and the Python module
has some kind of adaptation, then we need to release them in sync. So
its easier to have the antlr3 source package to also support the Python
bindings.

Also, there's no separate tarball for the antlr3 Python package, it's
all-in-one.

Let me know your thoughts. If you still don't change your mind, then
I'll indeed package python-antlr3 separately, even though I don't think
it is the right thing to do.

Cheers,
