A `ctypes` function to list all loaded shared libraries

I’m assuming that if it goes into the stdlib, you’d be creating the PR to add it - so either way, it would be the same code written by the same random developer :wink:

But I get your point. Being in the stdlib adds a level of credibility and convenience. It’s possible that if you just submit the function as a PR, one of the core devs would be happy to approve and merge it (I won’t do so myself, simply because I don’t have enough involvement with ctypes to feel comfortable merging changes to it). Being a popular module on PyPI isn’t necessary, it’s just helpful (if the proposal needs supporting evidence).
