Scripts shouldn't have extensions

During an update for NixOS a reviewer mentioned that the scripts have extensions (.py). It would be to ship the scripts without extensions as they are usually going into usr/bin.

The Fedora RPM package would also profit from removing the file extensions for the scripts.

Using entry_points in setup.py would be a way to do it in a simple way.

Well, I'm not a big fan of hiding file extensions, not mentioning potential conflicts with other tools. Moreover, what about Windows users?
