How about .pyzip instead?  To make it more obvious, and not
mistakable for .py.z.

I guess it would be pinheaded to call it .zippy.

I believe .zpy would be most recognizable and lest subject
to confusion.

Indeed. Is there any need to restrict extensions to
3 characters these days? Last time I experimented
with this on Windows, it seemed to handle longer
extensions okay.

ARAIK, the only disk fromat that really cares about this
which may still
be in widespread use is ISO-9660-formatted CDs without
Joliet/Rock Ridge
extensions.  Also, it seems that memory sticks and USB thumb
drives are
often formatted with FAT because that's the closest we have
to a
universal file format.

I think they tend to use FAT32 (the ones I've seen do),
which does
support long filenames and more than 3 character
extensions.

I'd check with the guys doing the Portable Python and
Movable Python stuff
to see if they see >-three-char extensions as a problem.

    http://www.
voidspace.org.uk/python/movpy/

They both seem to be Window-centric so they've pretty much
been off my radar
screen.

For me, .pyz is fine.  Python has more or less a trademark
on .pyx 
extensions, and one more fits well.  I think we should stick
with them.

Confusion of .pyz with .py.z is not an issue with Windows
users, though I 
can understand how it might be for *nix users.  On the other
hand, pyzip is 
quite similar (too similar?) to pkzip.
