Is the library you are searching for located in a common place on your machine. find_library will not perform an arbitrary search for your file system, it looks in specific places that are listed the ctypes/macholib/dyld.py module (see the dyld_find function).

If your library is in e.g. /usr/lib then it should be found, but if it is in a nonstandard location you will have to add its directory to an environment variable like DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.
