The extension .pyd is used for Python extension modules. This type of file is in a DLL format. I don't know of a way to read it.

A pyd file is created from compiled code written in the low-level language of the Python implementation, which is C/C++ for Python.

Is it this http://pyd.dsource.org/ that you're looking for?

Chances are that it will be difficult to back out the source code from the compiled file. Otherwise everything would be open source!!
