>>> import ctypes                                                     
>>> lib = ctypes.CDLL("libcrypt.so.1")                                
>>> crypt = lib.crypt
>>> crypt.restype = ctypes.c_char_p
>>> crypt("password", "$1$abcdefgh$")
'$1$abcdefgh$G//4keteveJp0qb8z2DxG/' 

Is that what it's supposed to return?
