Function find_msvcrt() returns None in Python 3.5.1, I expected
'msvcr100.dll'.
test code:
from ctypes.util import find_msvcrt
print(find_msvcrt())

See bpo-23606.
Not only is your expectation incorrect, you wouldn't get sensible behavior if it was. You should generally avoid using this function, and use the msvcrt module or ctypes.cdll.msvcrt (if you don't need to interoperate with CPython itself).
