In general it is difficult to impossible to get Python2 to unload modules before the interpreter shuts down.  See issue 9072.  I'm not savvy enough with the C stuff to know if the fact that you loaded it via ctypes changes anything, but I doubt it.

Note that the implication of that issue is that if you could move to Python3 there might be a way to do it, but that would indeed be an enhancement as there is no direct support for it yet.
