Summary

Skip Python C extensions (.abi3.so, .cpython-*.so) in the devel_test.py shared library load test.

Technical details

Python C extensions use symbols resolved at import time by the interpreter, not via dlopen. ctypes.CDLL fails when the extension uses APIs unavailable in the test interpreter version — e.g. _rocisa.abi3.so uses nanobind's PyType_FromMetaclass which requires Python 3.12+, causing OSError: undefined symbol on Python 3.11.

This is a general fix: any .abi3.so or .cpython-*.so file should be tested via import, not ctypes.CDLL.

Fixes the regression introduced by #5529 (tensilelite test artifact install with ROCISA_USE_STABLE_ABI=ON).

Test plan

• test_rocm_wheels.yml passes with rocm[devel] on Python 3.11

Thanks

I cherry-picked this commit onto #5731 for testing on CI

[ScottTodd]

Looks like after a few build flakes, the relevant Linux tests are passing on https://github.com/ROCm/TheRock/actions/runs/27296784528/job/80687409265?pr=5731 now.

CI results look good enough on this PR. Shall we merge? I'd like to proceed with #5731 expanding our CI test coverage to Python 3.11 (and 3.10 actually, for another issue)

The hipcub test failure was fixed recently, so pulled in those changes to get the tests to pass.
All other failures are pre-existing.

Since we landed the same to library_test.py ~2 weeks ago it should be fine to go ahead and merge.

Oh, merged right when you both commented 😅

I think that is fine 😉
