The `dl` module can cause segfaults/crashes if used incorrectly. I recommend the following (or similar) wording be put at the top of the module documentation (preferable in red ;) The `dl` module bypasses the Python type system and error handling. If used incorrectly it may cause segmentation faults, crashes or other incorrect behaviour.
