[New-bugs-announce] [issue2783] ctypes.util.find_library() doesn't find OS X .bundle or .so libraries

[Bill Janssen]

New submission from Bill Janssen <bill.janssen at gmail.com>:

On OS X, dynamically loadable libraries come in several flavors: 
.bundle (or, often, .so) a standard dynamically loadable module; .dylib,
a dynamically loadable module that is also a library that can be linked
against like a .a file; .framework, a collection of modules similar to a
Python package.  find_library() currently looks for .dylib and
.framework libraries, but not for .bundle or .so libraries.
