Subject: fix: add `libc.so` fallback for musl systems to the ctypes impl
X-Git-Tag: 3.1.18~5^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=afb040a800b2667a07dc441e8cdb94e55a0dcf65;p=thirdparty%2Fpsycopg.git

fix: add `libc.so` fallback for musl systems to the ctypes impl

Add a fallback to `libc.so` library name to fix loading the ctypes
implementation on musl systems.  On musl, `find_library("c")` does
not work (the problem has been reported to CPython in 2014, and has not
been resolved yet), causing the module to fail on `assert libcname`.
Instead, add a fallback to using `libc.so` and let ctypes raise
an exception if such a library does not exist.
