[issue42580] ctypes.util.find_library("libc") fails

[Eryk Sun]

Eryk Sun <eryksun at gmail.com> added the comment:

Can't there be a library named "libc" with the shared module "liblibc.so"? It seems to me that the _is_elf() function added in issue 41976 is breaking the contract that "[i]f no library can be found, returns None". It's not supposed to leak arbitrary exceptions from the implementation if the library isn't found.
