Are you referring to files related to the Python development language? If so I believe that a .pty file is a python file.
try looking here http://www.python.org/topics/learn/ for more info about the Python Development language.
Hope this is what you are looking for...

Your inkling is correct. From what I've been able to figure out, a pty is a pseudo-terminal. You can make more of them by going into /dev and doing, as root, ./MAKEDEV pty{0..15}. I'm using devfs, which has the kernel make devs instead of root, so I can't test if this works. If you still run into the problem, keep redoing that with a bigger number.
Hope that helps you out.
