The "Extending and Embedding" document still says, in section "Building C and C++ Extensions on Windows": http://docs.python.org/dev/extending/windows.html#a-cookbook-approach that a C extension may be called spam.dll or spam_d.dll Since version 2.5 the file must be called spam.pyd or spam_d.pyd - the .dll file extension isn't recognized anymore. A proposed doc patch is attached.
