始终遵循 ”的规则(尽管现代技术会为您提供清洁方面的帮助)。
[Python 3.5]:ctypes- Python的外部函数库包含许多有用的信息,应该成为您的朋友。
ctypes 使用 dlopen whel加载 .dll 。正如我注意到的那样,它 调用相应的 dlclose, 这意味着.dll (以及 .dll )将保留在内存中,直到进程终止(或直到??明确卸载)为止。
如果 文件名 指定的对象具有其他共享库的依赖关系,则动态链接程序也会使用相同的规则自动加载这些共享库。(如果这些对象又具有依赖关系,则该过程可能会递归发生,依此类推。) … 如果使用 再次加载相同的共享对象,则返回相同的对象句柄。动态连接器保持参考计数对象句柄,因此一个动态加载共享对象不释放直到 被调用在其上多次 成功就可以了。任何初始化返回(见下文)仅被调用一次。
因此,我认为您不会有问题(当然,一切都取决于上下文)。如您所见,多次加载一个库实际上并不会每次都加载,因此内存不足的机会非常小(除非您加载大量不同的.dll ,每个 .dll 都有很多不同的依赖项)。
一种情况下,我能想到的是加载一个 .dll文件 ,它使用一个符号从另一个 .dll文件 。如果符号在另一个(也定义 ) .DLL ,这是之前加载,则代码将表现与预期不同。
无论如何,您可以手动卸载(或更好:减少其 refcount )一个 .dll (我不确定这是否适合 建议的方式 或 最佳做法 ),如下面的示例所示。

Use `ctypes` to load the dll twice. The dll is not actually loaded only
