ctypes module can't import third party libraries

This will not work. You can't load dynamic libraries from /sdcard it's mounted 
with permissions to prevent that.

You should create a zip file with this c files and use the Py4A installer to 
install it (if you change the extension to egg then it will automatically let 
you uninstall it later)

For testing purposes I suggest you use adb to push the files into /tmp and load 
from there, that works on some devices

But I was able to load shared libraries from /sdcard.  That's precisely what I 
tested when I copied libc.so over to the same directory as libSDL.so on 
/sdcard/lib.  I can load /sdcard/lib/libc.so, but not /sdcard/lib/libSDL.so.

Now I'm suspecting dependencies.

I will try zipping the dependent libraries together to see if that helps.  
Thanks.

do print libc, I'm quite sure you got the catched libc, you can't load a 
library with teh same name more than once in Android AFAIK.

python_for_android_r6.apk has a basic file handler, that may simplify managing 
these issues.
I can confirm that Android will not load .so files directly from sdcard.
