Win32 Python binding libraries still have .dll extension

Hello,

I downloaded the Python 2.6 bindings for 1.6.1 yesterday, [1] to be
precise. Upon testing the bindings they were summarily determined not to
work. 8=] After some research I found that the binary modules in the
distribution have the .dll extension, while Python only looks for .pyd
since version 2.5. When I renamed *.dll to *.pyd, the modules worked as
expected.

Now, I see this issue have already been brought up on this list a few
times ([2] [3]) but it doesn't look like the situation changed. It's kind
of inconvenient and unobvious, so I supposed I'd nag you one more time
with it. 8=]

Roman.
