Comment (by Adam Starrh):
Just for reference, I looked up the library being used to search for the
file:
https://docs.python.org/2/library/ctypes.html#finding-shared-libraries
It seems like it has some limitations with regards to Windows:
On Windows, find_library() searches along the system search path, and
returns the full pathname, but since there is no predefined naming scheme
a call like find_library("c") will fail and return None. If wrapping a
shared library with ctypes, it may be better to determine the shared
library name at development time, and hardcode that into the wrapper
module instead of using find_library() to locate the library at runtime.
I guess that's why the decision was made to do it this way. Perhaps there
is a more accommodating library that could be used?
