Martin Panter added the comment:
IMO this should be treated as a new feature for the next release. But
consistently returning the path sounds good to me if there is no good reason
not to.
Left a question on the review. I think you also need to update the
documentation, and since this is changing documented behaviour it probably
needs a What’s New entry.
For tests, I would try doing something like find_library("c"), and ensuring
that the result is an absolute path. We may have to end up skipping the test
for platforms like Windows where this is not expected to work. Look through the
files in /Lib/ctypes/test/ for a good place for it to live (if there isn’t
already a test there you can modify).
