Can you please elaborate? In the name of what .pyd file do you
want the Python version number? And why? And why is that related
to not supporting extensions with .DLL names anymore?

I think this is a very special case: it could have been implemented
with separate DLLs which just provide the COM entry points, and
find the location of pythoncom.pyd from the registry. I would discourage
people from providing additional entry points to an extension module.
