[Tutor] Unable to import xxx.pyd

[Andreas Kostyrka]

Well, xxx.pyd -> dynamic binary python module on Windows.
security value "755" suggests that you are trying to install it on a
Linux/Unix host.

Sorry, but dynamic binary modules on Linux end in ".so" (every Unix
treats that a little bit different, HPUX e.g. uses .sl, etc.)

And no, you cannot just copy a .pyd file from a Windows distribution to
a Linux host and expect it to work. (Actually .pyd files are sometimes
incompatible between differently compiled Python versions on Win32)
