I don't think that's correct.  My recollection is that jythonc was
replaced with the py_compile and compileall modules for compatibility
with the CPython compilation features.  .py files are compiled to
.class files.  At one point I recollect they were actually compiled to
.pyc and then the .pyc was compiled to .class, but the .pyc step may
have been phased out.
