Hmmm. Well, that is very special. Is this documented anywhere?
I know very little about extension modules. If I just rename the source
file from pgmodule.c to pg.c, recompile to pg.so, and use that in place
of pgmodule.so, is anything likely to break?

That seems to be gone in Python 3.3:
py> imp.get_suffixes()
[('.cpython-33m.so', 'rb', 3), ('.abi3.so', 'rb', 3), ('.so', 'rb', 3),
('.py', 'U', 1), ('.pyc', 'rb', 2)]
