The full list of file extensions handled by Python is version and
platform dependent. There are also .pyo files, on Windows there is at
least one other, .pyw, and there may be more on other platforms.
I don't know the full list.

Apparently you cannot either marshal or pickle a module:
py> import pickle, marshal
py> from types import ModuleType
py> x = ModuleType('x')
py> pickle.dumps(x)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
_pickle.PicklingError: Can't pickle <class 'module'>: attribute lookup
module on builtins failed
py> marshal.dumps(x)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: unmarshallable object
