This is less about documentation and more about implementation. Does capa also accept the defanged variants of these extensions (e.g. .py_). If not, it should, we don't want to force users to use valid file extensions just for capa, especially for malware samples that they don't want to execute. This is low priority right now, so if this needs to be added, please create a new issue to track it.

@mike-hunhoff Could you suggest a few things that I should add to the documentation?
Also, yes, capa accepts the defanged variants of these extensions.
