[Pyobjc-dev] Class NSDictionary does not respond to dictionaryWithContentsOfFile

[Bill N. <no...@sn...>]

When loading a nib file, I now get the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File  
"/usr/local/sources/python/pyobjc/Lib/AppKit/NibClassBuilder.py", line  
471, in ?

     for b in p:
objc.error: Class NSDictionary does not respond to  
dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:

This is with the latest CVS pyobjc and very recent python (from cvs).

The following line in NibClassBuilder.py raises the exception:
         nibInfo = NSDictionary.dictionaryWithContentsOfFile_(
                 os.path.join(path, 'classes.nib'))

but creating a temp string works fine:

         nibPath = os.path.join(path, 'classes.nib')
         nibInfo = NSDictionary.dictionaryWithContentsOfFile_(
                 nibPath)

Ideas?
