I was actually thinking about both. :) The Wikipedia page has several external links to collections of file extensions, but I don't know that there's *an* official registry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_extension Picking FileInfo.com at random, and searching for a few .py* extensions, you find the usual suspects, plus a few others, but all are Python related, and there's no .pyz extension currently registered. >Also, I don't think reserving anything is something I, as an >individual (and specifically a non-Unix user) should do.

Seems like they could pick one or more of these registries and register pyz for this purpose.

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...
