Today pypy and CPython's "setup.py bdist" generate the same filename but incompatible bdists.
The distutils "bdist" command is just a generic command which then runs one of the more specific bdist_* commands (via the --formats option; defaulting to bdist_dumb).
Reading the PEP, I assume you'd like to change the bdist_dumb output file name only.
Yes, I do mean bdist_dumb in the Rationale. The PEP doesn't propose changing any file names. It is just a naming scheme. There is a new format "wheel" that needs this, but the naming scheme should be useful elsewhere, and I need feedback from the implementation communities to get it right.
