Byte-code files with timestamp-like extension not being deleted #55
Description
As described on the Python discussion forum, there is an edge case of byte-code files being created that have a file extension other than .pyc and pyo.
PyClean doesn't recognize them and hence leaves them in place, which results in the entire __pycache__ folder they may be left inside not being removed. This is because PyClean is cautious and only removes empty __pycache__ folders.
PyClean should delete all files that have been created by Python, even those lying around as a side-effect of program abortion, etc.
