Does your module's name end with .dll or with .pyd?

 From "What's New in Python 2.5":
http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.4/whatsnew/ports.html#SECTION0001510000000000000000

"Windows: .dll is no longer supported as a filename extension for 
extension modules. .pyd is now the only filename extension that will be 
searched for."
