    Pythonwin not loading DLL, should I change extensions by .pyo or pyd?


    Python 2.5 doesn't support/load .dll anymore. Is PythonWin 2.5 the
    same case?

    If a .DLL file is not loading, should I change its extension for it to
    work?
    What extensions should be now, .pyo, .pyd, etc? which one?
    What is the meaning of each extension?

    Thanks,
    Angelica E-G.

      Python supports being extended using "extension modules"; on Windows they
      are dynamic libraries (DLL). Before 2.5, the extensions ".dll" and ".pyd"
      were both valid; starting with 2.5, only files ending in ".pyd" are
      recognized.
      Note that this applies to extension modules *only*, not generic DLLs.
      All binary packages targeted to 2.5 use the right name for their extension
      modules, at least all that I know of. You don't have to rename anything.

      A .pyo file is a totally different thing; it's a compiled Python source
      (like a .pyc) but with optimization turned on.
