In this picture, after "from ctypes import *" then use the "libc.printf" may misleading the reader that libc from ctypes.
i think should remove "from ctypes import *" then tell reader this snippet continue with the above code

Shall we follow the advice in the FAQ and replace the other from ctypes import * with specific imports?

Sounds like a good idea. The whole doc seem inconsistent with import statements, probably they should be rearranged as well. I checked datetime and it appears that imports are in each example, but the style of this article differs a lot.
