[Pyobjc-dev] problems in bridge metadata lookup

[scott h. <sc...@ya...>]

In trying to use some bridgesupport files that I generated, I came  
across a couple problems that prevented files under /Library or ~/ 
Library from being found.

objc.initFrameworkWrapper throws a NameError when the bridgesupport  
file is in /Library/BridgeSupport. It throws an ImportError when the  
bridgesupport file is in ~/Library/BridgeSupport.

The former looks like a typo in objc/_bridgesupport.py where  
"framework" is misspelled as "framwork". I think the latter is a  
result of not expanding "~" to the user's home directory. Replacing  
the path with os.path.expanduser(path) fixes it for me. The patch I'm  
using follows.
