:-) You shouldn't bet on my judgement of what needs a PEP, I usually
get it wrong...

Yes, "py spam.pyz" works fine. +1 on having the associations.
Actually, I've just remembered, it's already in PEP 441, which hasn't
been approved but which goes further and includes a stdlib tool to
create pyz files. I'm not sure if that changes things at all...
