I'm not sure if the folks who packaged jToolkit for Debian are on this 
list - they're probably on the Pootle list 
(tra...@li...) and it may be best to contact 
them there.
The syntax error is because of a Python 2.4-style decorator if I 
remember correctly - that file is only used for tests and could be 
removed if you need a quick fix
But it sounds to me (not being a Debianite) like if the version requires 
a new release of Python there may be a reason for this... or else you 
may be able to dig up an old version of python-support
