Another possibility would be to emit a warning when the module (dl or ctypes, if included) is imported.

warnings.warn("Incorrect usage of this module may crash Python", RuntimeWarning, stacklevel=2)

Arrgggh! No!! Warnings are one of the things I really hate about perl and I'd hate to see them infecting python any more than they already have.

I want my programming language to tell me, the programmer, about stuff not go blurting to the user behind my back.

Death to warnings ;-)

(Yes I know about the warnings module!)
