Description
In the method load_shared_library the winmode specification is incorrect.
The actual code is:
cdll_args["winmode"] = ctypes.RTLD_GLOBAL
ctypes.RTLD_GLOBAL is not a value for winmode but only for mode argument.
The documentation is correct at https://docs.python.org/3/library/ctypes.html but confusing.
The winmode parameter is used on Windows to specify how the library is loaded (since mode is ignored). It takes any value that is valid for the Win32 API LoadLibraryEx flags parameter
The correct value should be None to use the default dll searching by ctype
Specifiy RTLD_GLOBAL (that is 0) will make the LoadLibraryEx search the dlls as the normal LoadLibrary function, behaving incorrectly and eventually not finding the dependencies.
