title: Portable way to load the C standard library in Python ctypes
body: <p>Is there a portable way to load the C standard library (<code>libc.so</code>, <code>libc.dylib</code>) in Python ctypes? Should I just use <code>if</code>/<code>elif</code> statements about the result of <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/platform.html#platform.system" rel="noreferrer"><code>platform.system()</code></a> function?</p>
