(candidates, find_library=ctypes.util.find_library)

Tries to locate a library listed in candidates using the given
    find_library() function (or ctypes.util.find_library).
    Returns the first library found, which can be the library's name
    or the path to the library file, depending on find_library().
    Returns None if no library is found.

    arguments:
    * candidates   -- iterable with library names
    * find_library -- function that takes one positional arg (candidate)
                      and returns a non-empty str if a library has been found.
                      Any "false" value (None,False,empty str) is interpreted
                      as "library not found".
                      Defaults to ctypes.util.find_library if not given or
                      None.
