[issue43898] Python fails to import .dylib but works when extension is changed to .so

This is with regards to an python extension written in zig (I believe the same behaviour would occur from C as I am just using Python.h). What happens is when I compile the library on my mac it generates myLibrary.dylib file, when testing with python the following occurs:

    >>> import myLibrary
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'myLibrary'

However when changing the name of myLibrary.dylib to myLibrary.so python manages to import and use it as it should.
