In 3.x, a string will be passed as a wchar_t*, not a char*. IOW, the
memory pointed to by the first argument to strchr() will consist mostly of
NUL bytes.

Either use a "bytes" instead of a string:

        > print(libc.strchr(b"abcdef", ord("d")))
        1984444291

or specify the argument types to force a conversion:

        > libc.strchr.argtypes = [c_char_p, c_int]
        > print(libc.strchr("abcdef", ord("d")))
        1984755787
