Convert PYD to DLL

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert PYD to DLL?
Yes - PYD converts to DLL.

A .pyd already IS a Windows DLL - renaming .pyd to .dll changes nothing about the file. It only makes sense if another (non-Python) program expects a .dll; the exported PyInit_ entry point is still there. Python, conversely, will import a properly-built .dll if you rename it to .pyd.
