Hi Thomas, hi Yann,
according to http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on_rules Kodi apparently
expects .py files in add-ons:
"All source files must be included. No pre-compiled files will be
allowed."
Some more information about this can be found here:

I remember that several years ago I had problems after removing .py files
from my xbmc/kodi box so I kept them ever since ;)
