That covers mime types, but not file extensions, so it's not really what *I* thought Barry was talking about. Actually, I guess the first question is whether ".py" is reserved for Python scripts. If it is, then certainly /pyz should be reserved in a similar way for Python Zip Applications. If there's no formal registration of .py, then it seems a bit unreasonable to bother for .pyz... Also, I don't think reserving anything is something I, as an individual (and specifically a non-Unix user) should do. It probably should be handled by the PSF, as the process seems to need a contact email address...
