A .pyd is a Windows DLL (i.e. PE/COFF shared library). The .pyd type is associated with the "Python.Extension" program identifier, which sets a custom descriptive name and icon in Explorer. Sometimes a Python extension module uses the .dll file extension instead of .pyd. For example, from PyWin32: >>> print(pywintypes.__file__) C:\Program Files\Python36\pywintypes36.dll >>> print(pythoncom.__file__) C:\Program Files\Python36\pythoncom36.dll _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
