It is more than just a directory, it is also a package. A Package is a
directory with a __init__.py file in it. When importing the package, the
__init__.py file is executed. The jast/__init__.py file contains the
line: 

  from Statement import *

and the Statement.py file do contain a Block class. So this is not the
reason why jythonc is failing.

You didn't tell which jvm you are using, but I bet it is MS jview. A bug
somewhere (I put the blame on microsoft) prevent jview from running
jythonc.

I suggest that you install and use a JVM from javasoft instead. If you
are trying to create browser applets you should use a JDK1.1, otherwise
pick the JDK1.3.
