Steve Dower added the comment:
See issue23606.
Not only is your expectation incorrect, you wouldn't get sensible behavior if
it was. You should generally avoid using this function, and use the msvcrt
module or ctypes.cdll.msvcrt (if you don't need to interoperate with CPython
itself).
New submission from Henri Starmans:
Function find_msvcrt() returns None in Python 3.5.1, I expected
'msvcr100.dll'.
test code:
from ctypes.util import find_msvcrt
print(find_msvcrt())
