The real issue is that there's no definition of what an extension is. You can have dots anywhere in a filename, and it's not at all unusual for them to be used before the bit we recognise as the extension. Almost every package on PyPI has files named like 'pip-9.0.1.tar.gz', but '.0.1.tar.gz' clearly doesn't make any sense as an extension. Without a good definition of what the 'full extension' is, we can't have code to find it. Thomas
