I'm setting up a new Debian system.  I'm far from a Debian wizard, but I'm not 
a total newbie either.
I have a ntp.pth setup, so ntpq finds the python libraries.
try:
    import ntp.control  <== worked
    import ntp.ntpc    <== died here
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/ntpq", line 26, in <module>
    import ntp.ntpc
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3/dist-packages/ntp/ntpc.py", line 52, in <module>
    _ntpc = _importado()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3/dist-packages/ntp/ntpc.py", line 38, in 
_importado
    return _dlo(ntpc_paths)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3/dist-packages/ntp/ntpc.py", line 49, in _dlo
    raise OSError("Can't find %s library" % LIB)
OSError: Can't find ntpc library
I think that's trying to tell me that it can't find libntpc.so
It's in /usr/local/lib/ntp/, where install put it.
$ ll /usr/local/lib/ntp/
total 192
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 192848 Oct 14 08:53 libntpc.so.1.1.0

A working system has it in /usr/local/lib64/ntp/
I added a symlink from lib64 to lib
That didn't help.
---------
This system is python3 only, no python2.
python gets to python3
Is this a bug in my setup?  If so, what?  and/or how do I fix it?
Or is this a bug in our build/install stuff?
