One of the modules for my app uses functions from a .pyd file. There's an option to exclude dlls (exclude_dlls) but is there one for including them? The build process doesn't seem to be copying the .pyd in my module despite copying the rest of the files (.py). I also need to include a .dll. How do I get py2exe to include both .pyd and .dll files? Tony Meyer .pyd's and .DLL's are different here, in that a .pyd ought to be automatically found by modulefinder and so included (as long as you have the appropriate "import" statement) without needing to do anything. If one is missed, you do the same

After reading How do I protect Python code? , I decided to try a really simple extension module on Windows. I compiled my own extension module on Linux before, but this is the first time I compiled it on Windows. I was expecting to get a .dll file, but instead, I got a .pyd file. Docs says they are kind of same, but it must have an init[insert-module-name]() function. Is it safe to assume, it is as hard to reverse engineer them as dll files. If not, what is their hardness to reverse engineer in a scale from .pyc file to .dll files? They are, as you already found out, equivalent to DLL files

I'm trying to use a python package from IronPython. Everything works fine if I import regular python modules. But when I try to do the following: import win32ui I get: No module named win32ui I've hunted through the code in IronPython.Runtime.Importer and there's no mention of .pyd Anyone know a way around this? You can check out IronClad which is working to provide this support. It may or may not work w/ your PYD of choice. A .pyd file is a DLL. So unless IronPython (which is written in .net) can correctly load C DLLs written for CPython, you might be out of luck. Update In fact, according to

I have a Python extension written in C and I wonder if I should use the file extension DLL or PYD under Windows. (And what would I use in Linux?) Are there any differences (besides the filename)? I found an unofficial article . Is this the secret of pyc? Why can't I find any official article on this topic? pyd files are just dll files ready for python importing. To distinguish them from normal dlls, I recommend .pyd not .dll in windows. Here is the official doc about this issue: http://docs.python.org/faq/windows.html#is-a-pyd-file-the-same-as-a-dll According to the Creating Your Own Project
