did *you* read your own question?  it took you three posts before you 
mentioned what you were trying to do, and four posts before you bothered 
to mention that you're seeing this behaviour on Ubuntu.

and for the record, Python doesn't look for PYD files on any of the Unix 
boxes I have convenient access to right now.  what Ubuntu version are 
you using, what Python version do you have, and what does

     $ python -c "import imp; print imp.get_suffixes()"

print on your machine?
