Yeah, that's a fair argument. You'd probably expect any public API exposed by functions in the module importing ctypes to provide a "safe" interface. The difference would be if any of that public API was unsafe, in Rust you could force the caller to use the unsafe keyword too (since unsafe functions can only be called in unsafe blocks), whereas in Python you'd rely on documentation.
