Python File Extensions

Python scripts can have various file extensions that indicate the script's purpose, such as *.py for regular scripts, *.pyc for compiled bytecode, and *.pyd for scripts made as Windows DLLs. Some other extensions include *.pyx for Cython source files, *.pxd for Cython header files, *.pyi for MyPy stubs, and *.ipynb for Jupyter Notebook files. The file extensions help determine how a Python file should be interpreted and executed.

 *.pyi - MyPy stub
 *.pyi - Stub file (PEP 484)
 *.pyz - Python script archive (PEP 441); this is a script containing
compressed Python scripts (ZIP) in binary form after the standard Python script

 *.pywz - Python script archive for MS-Windows (PEP 441); this is a script
containing compressed Python scripts (ZIP) in binary form after the standard
Python script header

 *.py[cod] - wildcard notation in ".gitignore" that means the file may be
