[issue28276] test_loading.py - false positive result for "def test_find" when find_library() is not functional or the (shared) library does not exist

[Michael Felt]

Michael Felt <aixtools at felt.demon.nl> added the comment:

This is something from long long ago - time to get it completed.

The (remaining) issue is: "c" and "m" may not be shared libraries - so nothing is ever found and the test is "skipped" but reports itself as PASSED.

The original issue (fixed for AIX in Python3.7) would be if find_library itself is broken and always returns NULL/None.

Again, the tests says "PASSED" when actually it was skipped.

Following this - Martin's suggestion seems a viable solution.
