Does a module really need to end with .module?

[---]

I'm using PHPdocumentor to generate documentation of my modules, but it fails to scan the .module files. Is there another way of making processwire see a module other than giving it a .module extension?

I'd like to rename my module file to .php but then processwire no longer sees my module.

You can use yourmodule.module.php

I don't think you need to rename anything, although I haven't used phpDocumentor myself. I use apigen (as seen here). You can tell it in a configuration file what file extensions to parse. I see phpDocumentor has a similar feature as explained in its documentation here (see extensions).  Meaning, something like below should work.

 

<parser>
  <target>output</target>
  <encoding>utf8</encoding>
  <markers>
    <item>TODO</item>
    <item>FIXME</item>
  </markers>
  <extensions>
    <extension>php</extension>
    <extension>module</extension>    
  </extensions>
</parser>
