otool is used on Mach-O files to see what they depend on.

There's definitely nothing wrong with loadBundle, it works fine here..

 >>> import objc
 >>> objc.loadBundle('test', globals(), bundle_path='/System/Library/ 
Frameworks/CoreData.framework')
NSBundle </System/Library/Frameworks/CoreData.framework> (loaded)


 >>> import objc
 >>> objc.loadBundle('test', globals(), bundle_path='/Library/ 
Frameworks/SDL.framework')
NSBundle </Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework> (loaded)
